A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Lincoln wanted southern states to be treated fairly so the States would quickly reenter the union

Abraham Lincoln believed that he was obliged to suppress the rebellion and restore local unionist control in the South. His approach to Reconstruction was only insisting to the Southerners, when defeated, to pledge future loyalty to the Union and emancipate their slaves. Lincoln felt that most citizens in the south were still loyal to the union and would help to aid the federal troops in crushing the rebellion.
