Women's rights were one of the freedoms
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.

She was a widow when she was very young but did not decide to remarry. She felt the call to religious vocation and tried to enter the Carmelites or the Feuillants, but it was not until 1631 that she was accepted in the monastery of the Ursulines of Tours, of the congregation of Bordeaux. There it took the name of Marie de l'Incarnation.
In this monastery he had contact with Jesuit missionaries assigned to Canada. He opened the first Ursuline monastery in Canada, in Quebec, for the care of a school for indigenous girls. Before the Ursulines there were only schools for boys in New France. The Ursulines established convents and schools for girls taught reading, writing, arithmetic and homemaking. It was expected that graduates would become nuns or wives or mothers.
