In OTL after the end of the ACW their was a reconstruction period where the Federal government at various times tried to reform Southern society, rebuild the south, and ensure rights for former slaves. Ultimately it more or less failed utterly and Southern society remained unreformed and civil rights were stripped from black citizens for nearly a century.
So the proposition is what is your ideal plan for Reconstruction and how it could be enacted? More then that it's a two part question
1) What is your ultimate ideal Reconstruction (With some caveats. IE things might be better then OTL but White Americans will not immediately universally view black Americans as being their fully equal in every way) and how could it be enacted? What would be required?
B) What is your ultimate realistic ideal Reconstruction plan. IE one that acknowledges that compromises will be made and things might not go well.
