The correct answer is 1.The supremacy of the federal government over the states was firmly established. The southern states couldn't try to secede anymore and had to do whatever the federal government controlled by the northerners wanted, while the northereners who would want to do something sketchy were wary because they knew how the south issues turned out in the end.

Further explanation

After this deadly and devastating war, the mission of the American government was to repair the damages. This period was called the reconstruction era. It lasted officially 14 years, from 1863 to 1877.

There were various problems to be solved. First, they ensured that slavery had disappeared in the country, and former slaves from the south were well integrated into society. However, the main task was to organize the return of the former southern states to the union.

The first states which officially reintegrated the union were Tennessee, Arkansas, and Louisiana. It was President Lincoln who accepted their return if only 10% of the voters in those states said they were loyal to the union. President Andrew Johnson continued this policy towards the southern states and did not punish them. He did not try to change the racist laws that continued to apply in the south and let discrimination lead like before.

The situation changed in 1866 when Radical Republicans won the parliamentary elections. With this majority in congress, they sent the army to take control of the southern states and expelled the governors. They gave political power to the former slaves. The former rebel states were all reintegrated into the union between 1868 and 1869.
