• Lincoln wanted to rebuild and
return the south to the Union as
soon as possible
• His plan was called the 10% plan
• “Reconstruction” would have two
parts:
1.Southerners would be pardoned after
taking an oath of allegiance;
2.When 10% of voters had taken the
oath, the state could rejoin the Union
and form a state government.
