What were two of the considerations needing to be addressed when thinking about how Reconstruction would be carried out? How many years would former Confederates spend in prison? What would be the nature of new Southern governments? How was the Southern economic infrastructure going to be rebuilt? In what ways would Northern wealth be distributed to poor people?

The correct answer is How was the Southern economic infrastructure going to be rebuilt? In what ways would Northern wealth be distributed to poor people?

The nature of the government was known, it would come back to the federal government and the local state government would be run by people that the people from north chose. The biggest problem was economics because up until then, it was based on free labor, that is, slavery.
