The Wade-Davis Bill proposed a more stringent approach to Reconstruction than Lincoln's Ten Percent Plan. While Lincoln's plan required only 10% of voters in a Confederate state to take an oath of allegiance for re-admittance to the Union, the Wade-Davis Bill mandated that a majority of white males in the state must take the loyalty oath and also guaranteed civil rights for freed slaves. Additionally, the Wade-Davis Bill sought to impose harsher penalties on Confederate leaders and emphasized a more thorough transformation of Southern society. Ultimately, Lincoln pocket-vetoed the bill, favoring his more lenient approach.
