Could have enforced it more for the rights of African Americans An Idea of a Good Reconstruction Solution: Only after more than 50% of the population pledges allegiance to the Union can a state send representatives to government. Delegates must be new. Only after voiding secession can the people be pardoned. The enforcement of all the rights allowed to white males being allowed for African Americans.
