president lincoln
president abraham lincoln was concerned to effect a speedy restoration of the confederate states to the union after the civil war. in 1863, president lincoln proposed a moderate plan for the reconstruction of the captured confederate state of louisiana. the plan granted amnesty to rebels who took an oath of loyalty to the union. black freedmen workers were tied to labor on plantations for one year at $10 a month pay. only 10% of the state's electorate had to take the loyalty oath in order for the state to be readmitted into u.s. congress. the state was required to abolish slavery in its new constitution. identical reconstruction plans would be adopted in arkansas and tennessee. by december 1864, the lincoln plan of reconstruction had been enacted in louisiana and the legislature sent two senators and five representatives to take their seats in washington. however, congress refused to count any of the votes from louisiana, arkansas, and tennessee, in essence rejecting lincoln's moderate reconstruction plan. congress, at this time controlled by the radicals, proposed the wade–davis bill that required a majority of the state electorates to take the oath of loyalty to be admitted to congress. lincoln pocket-vetoed the bill and the rift widened between the moderates, who wanted to save the union and win the war, and the radicals, who wanted to effect a more complete change within southern society. frederick douglass denounced lincoln's 10% electorate plan as undemocratic since state admission and loyalty only depended on a minority vote.
