The Wade-Davis bill, questioned Lincoln in his ideas that the southern states needed to return to the Union, because for Lincoln, the Constitution did not give permission to the southern states to separate. Lincoln was also accused of being very gentle with the rebel states, in order to win voters in the South, and because he wanted his political ideas to spread throughout the south. Rep. Henry Winter Davis, said Lincoln would use Reconstruction to use Southern voters in their own ambitions, and gain control of the Congress. Even so, Lincoln vetoed the Wade-Davis Bill and signed his Ten-Percent Plan, despite claims that the president should only obey and execute, not make his own laws.

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Why do you think it took over fifteen years for a holiday to be created when lawmakers started to act just days after King's assassination?
Answer:
I think that it was the remaining racism in both society and the government that made the establishment of a national holiday in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. so difficult.
Explanation:
The main reasons those who opposed the holiday gave were that it would be too costly and it wouldn´t be correct to honor someone who may have been a communist. These reasons are rather weak. First of all, there´s no proof of King´s association with communism. Furthermore, setting any holiday should not be based on its cost but its social relevance, which, as the many demonstrations demanding for the holiday showed, had already been established.
Considering the lack of solid reasons for the holiday not to be established, and the support the campaign in favor of the holiday got from different organizations working on equal rights for African Americans, I can only infer that there was a political interest in King´s ideas not becoming more popular.
