In President Abraham Lincoln's plan for the South, "10 percent" referred to the number of white voters required to take loyalty oaths before setting up a state government. This plan was known as the Ten Percent Plan and was announced in 1863 as a way to quickly rebuild the Southern states and bring them back into the Union after the Civil War. Under the plan, if 10 percent of white voters in a Confederate state took an oath of allegiance to the Union and accepted that slavery was illegal, they could form a new state government and be readmitted to the Union.
