Question

What incentive does lincoln offer for southern states that re-join the union

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The incentive that Lincoln offered for southern states that re-join the union was that he will give full pardon to those involved in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, with the exception of the military leaders. Lincoln also promised the restoration of their property. Lincoln asked 10 percent of the people in the southern states to take an oath of allegiance to the Union. He also allowed them to propose plans to know what to do with the freed slaves.

Answer 2

If the southern states joined the Union before January 1, 1863, they could keep their slaves.
