What were the immediate post-Civil War relations between the ex-CSA and the USA? How many years was it before the average person in the south stopped holding a grudge against the northerners? Is there still any grudge between the north and south today?

>What were the immediate post-Civil War relations between the ex-CSA and the USA?
Things were very tense. The southern states were put under military governments during a process called "Reconstruction", which almost made the Southern States colonies. This lasted until 1877. Similarly, southerners detested northern "carpetbaggers" that came to live in the south.
>How many years was it before the average person in the south stopped holding a grudge against the northerners?
There's no hard-and-fast cutoff, but I've read that it wasn't until the Spanish-American War when the mutual bitterness subsided. However, the north-south divide was visible politically into the 1960s.
>Is there still any grudge between the north and south today?
Some, but it's relatively minor. The Great Plains and mountain NW are often "northern" but act more like southern states than other northern states, so the divide is more than just north-south.
>How many years was it before the average person in the south stopped holding a grudge against the northerners?
I have a lot of family in the Southern states. Even today there is a lot of animosity towards "Yankees" and there is still an apparent political divide, but it goes a lot further than the Civil War.

The United States of America conquered the Confederate States. It annexed and ruled them, and over time integrated them.
You are conquered people.

Not fully integrated, still occupied

Honestly we still have a grudge. Puritans piss us off.
