The rebuilding of the South after the Civil War is called the Reconstruction. The Reconstruction lasted from 1865 to 1877. The purpose of the Reconstruction was to help the South become a part of the Union again.
After the death of President Lincoln, the then Vice-President Andrew Johnson became President. He decided to not follow Lincoln's plan of reconstruction of the South, opting to create his own.
The Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction in 1863 was part of Lincoln's Ten-Percent Plan. The plan for reconstruction was based on forgiveness to unite the northern and southern states.
