.."ex-Confederates could not hold office nor vote - yankees came down to serve as governor/congressmen."

After losing the Presidential election of 1860 the slavocracy deliberately triggered the Civil War by various attacks on U.S. military installations.

Are you actually suggesting in 1865 ex-confederate insurrectionist politicians should have been immediately returned to public office by the United States government - like nothing happened during the four previous years?
