Granting Amnesty

I think that the north should not have granted amnesty to the south. I think because of all the lives they took and damage they did they should not be completely forgiven for it. I think that they should have had to make some form of a payment whether it was with crops or people or something. They should have helped maybe rebuild the north and given the north something significant. In a way though i do think that the south was in the right simply because they were trying to defend their Constitutional rights as american citizens.
