Quizplus · Accepted Answer

President Lincoln promised rapid readmission of Southern states into the Union under his 10 percent plan. The plan required 10 percent of a Southern state's voters to take an oath of allegiance to the Union and accept the end of slavery, after which they could form a new state government and be readmitted to the Union. This plan did not include giving former slaves the right to vote or confiscating Southern property, nor did it advocate for severe punishment of Southern political and military leaders.
