Ten percent plan:- 1- 10% of any southern state that votes to be loyal to Lincoln and the union will be added to the union 2- the state will have representatives in Congress 3- only leaders that encouraged the civil war will not be forgiven 4- the state has to end slavery
Wade-Davis plan:- (radical republican plan)
1- 50% percent of any southern state has to vote 2- they must promise to end slavery 3- won’t have representatives in Congress *lincoln used his pocket veto because he believed the wade Davis plan slowed down the process of reconstruction.
*reconstruction failed. Pros:- 1- south was halfway rebuilt 2- slaves were free
Cons:- 1- Black codes, ku klux klan, and (poll tax, literacy test, and grandfather clause) made the freed men’s life’s restricted.
