So that a southern state could be readmitted into the Union once 10 percent of its voters swore an oath of allegiance to the Union. Voters could elect representatives to draft state constitutions and create state governments. All southerners except for high-ranking Confederate officers and government officials would be given a full pardon. Lincoln promised southerners that he would protect their private property, not their slaves. Most moderate Republicans in Congress supported the plan because they wanted to bring a quick end to the war.

What do you think the Puritans would think of modern American values?

Naya [18.7K]

The Puritans main value was religion. They lived their entire lives focused on doing good in God's eyes. They also highly valued hard work and family, though divorce was more common than in Europe. Puritans would most likely be taken aback by how little God has to do with everyday things. Not saying God does not have a heavy presence in Modern America, but Puritans' world revolved around God. I believe Puritans would also not think to kindly of America's "work hard relax harder" mindset. Puritans thought you could never work too much, whereas many Americans do not carry that same way of mind.
