As president I would be concerend about rebuilding the country physically from the war damage. I would start government programs to rebuild the parts of the south that got hit the hardest. I would also be concerned about reuniting the country from the civil war. The country would be very divided, and reuniting the country as one would be a top priority. I would make sure that the war wound would heal physically and socially.
