The Lincoln administration's Reconstruction policies, lessons learned, importance of the Thirteenth Amendment, and necessity of the Fifteenth Amendment are discussed.
The Lincoln administration's policies on Reconstruction failed primarily due to issues with the balance of power between the federal government and the states, lack of protection for newly freed slaves, and limited enforcement mechanisms. National leaders should have learned from the importance of ensuring civil rights protections, economic opportunities, and political representation for all citizens during postwar Reconstruction.
The Thirteenth Amendment was necessary despite the Emancipation Proclamation and Civil Rights Act addressing slavery because it provided a permanent and constitutional end to slavery, ensuring its abolition could not be reversed easily through executive orders or laws.
The Fifteenth Amendment became necessary to guarantee the right to vote for all male citizens regardless of race or previous condition of servitude, as the Fourteenth Amendment's mention of voting rights was not specific or comprehensive enough.
