no. any reparations would have further damaged the south and lead to increased racism. also, the south would have remained in economic desparity for longer.
this would have created a war in the south between whites and blacks, and would have ultimatley ended with the wholesale massacre of the blacks, with limited resistance.

I agree with this. You cannot put a price on freedom anyway.
morally they probably should have but it would have crippled an economy already suffering from the loss of a free work force.
