After WWII the Germans and Japanese were forced, at times at gunpoint, to confront the consequences of their actions and their utter defeat. One will note that Germany and Japan have been responsible world citizens ever since. Lincoln's approach to the Confederacy was far, far too conciliatory, and even the Radical Reconstructionists didn't take things as far as they should have.
