Answer:

The correct answer is B. President Lincoln didn't believe that the South should pay for the damage it caused.

Explanation:

In anticipation of the end of the war, President Lincoln launched a moderate reconstruction that sought to reunify the country quickly through a generous policy of reconciliation amidst a persistent and bitter division. He was determined to take a course that would not permanently alienate the former Confederate states, but that would include them as part of the new national order, avoiding grudges and revenge against the South.
