Ten-Percent Plan,which specified that a southern state could be readmitted into the Union once 10 percent of its voters (from the voter rolls for the election of 1860) swore an Oath Of Allegiance to the Union. Voters could then elect delegates to draft revised state constitutions and establish new state governments. All southerners except for high-ranking Confederate army officers and government officials would be granted a full pardon. Lincoln guaranteed southerners that he would protect their private property, though not their slaves. Most moderate Republicans in Congress supported the president’s proposal for Reconstruction because they wanted to bring a quick end to the war.
In many ways, the Ten-Percent Plan was more of a political maneuver than a plan for Reconstruction. Lincoln wanted to end the war quickly. He feared that a protracted war would lose public support and that the North and South would never be reunited if the fighting did not stop quickly. His fears were justified: by late 1863, a large number of Democrats were clamoring for a truce and peaceful resolution. Lincoln’s Ten-Percent Plan was thus lenient—an attempt to entice the South to surrender.

D. Because the Sudanese government focused on rebels in general,
not a specific ethnic group.
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
Since the early 2000s, violence against the Sudanese government has been prevalent in the Darfur region. Although, it was not defined as genocide by the UN.
Genocide
First, we need to understand what genocide is.
- Genocide is defined as the deliberate killing of a specific ethnicity, nationality, or religious group.
For the UN to declare something a genocide, a specific group, usually a minority, must be targeted for their unique traits, like ethnicity.
There are 5 forms of genocide:
- Killing members of a group
- Causing grave mental or physical harm
- Forcing purposely terrible living conditions
- Preventing new births
- Forcing children out of the group
One of these must occur to a specific group of people for the UN to declare genocide.
Atrocities in Darfur
While the Sudanese government did deliberately kill people within Darfur, the government attempted to attack rebels. So, the government did not specifically target the ethnicity. However, the majority of the rebels were from Darfur, so some people saw it as a genocide.
