The Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction, issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, aimed to facilitate the reintegration of Southern states into the Union by offering leniency to those who took an oath of loyalty, with just 10% of voters needed for re-establishing a state government. In contrast, the Wade-Davis Bill, proposed by Congress in 1864, required a stricter approach, mandating that 50% of white male citizens take an "ironclad" oath of loyalty before a state could be readmitted, and it also sought to safeguard the rights of freedmen. The Wade-Davis Bill reflected a more punitive attitude towards the South and emphasized Congressional control over Reconstruction, while Lincoln's plan was more conciliatory and aimed at quicker reconciliation. Ultimately, Lincoln pocket-vetoed the Wade-Davis Bill, highlighting the conflict between his administration and Congress over Reconstruction policy.
