How did abraham lincolns ideas about the course the nation should take after the civil war differ from those held by many northerners?

The Civil War was a fulfillment and completion of the Constitution, not a revolution against it. Changes in culture and society surely affected political life. Lincoln hoped to bring the north and south together after the war by healing the nationand making people lose their resentment.

At first, when he met the wack speaking Eliza Doolittle he thought very little of women and thought of himself as superior. Later, he begins to develop feelings for Eliza but denies them and only thinks of her as an experiment. In the very end, he starts to respect her, but doesn't know how to show it. He ends up hurting her feelings and then she runs off with a quite daft man which he thought was funny yet stung with jealously. Over the course, the attitude is more accepted and starts to respect women more.
