Did they censor the former Confederates so completely? Preachers not allowed to preach, no vote, not allowed to hold office, or to sit on juries.
What other conditions existed?
Were there habitually unreported crimes against southerners, such as beatings, rape and murder, illegal property seizures.
What war reparations were inflicted?
These conditions are not an exaggeration. However, those who swore an oath of loyalty would have their rights restored.
Missouri has a bloody history starting well before the Civil War and continuing after. There were running battles and raids between Kansas and Missouri. The state was terrorized by guerrillas, and there was much animosity between supporters of both sides. My family history includes relatives killed during the war by bushwackers, as well as after the war by neighbors--a man and his daughter poisoned, the murderers unpunished. Even though officially Missouri was a Union state, the federal government declared war on it and had an occupying army administering martial law. Lincoln suspended the right of habeas corpus, and installed a pro-union state legislature (despite the fact that Missouri had voted to stay in the Union). A farming family might be raided by one side, then killed by the other for supporting the enemy.
After a battle between the Missouri Militia (led by the governor) and federal troops, many union supporters changed their minds. The elected state legislators fled the capitol, and eventually voted to leave the Union and join the confederacy.
Missouri was third in the number of civil war battles (behind Virginia and Tennessee) and first in the number of soldiers to fight.
Reparations were sometimes made, but not often and seldom timely. Federal troops occupied the main building at the University of Missouri. In 1892 the federal government paid reparations to the state for the damage incurred to the building--long after it had burned down.
