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.

What is the incorporation fo the bill of rights apex?
AveGali [126]

The incorporation of the bill of rights is a doctrine that defends that The Bill of Rights should be applicable and respected by the states of the US.

Initially, the Supreme Court was strict on this matter and the common understanding was that the Bill of Rights should only be respected and followed by the Federal Government - you can see it on Barron vs Baltimore case. After the abolition of slavery and the post-civil war era many rights were granted to people and over time the incorporation doctrine gained strength.
