President Abraham Lincoln's reconstruction plan required Southerners to take loyalty oaths. Specifically, his Ten Percent Plan stipulated that once 10% of the voters in a Southern state took an oath of loyalty to the Union, that state could re-establish its government. This plan aimed to encourage rapid reintegration of the Southern states following the Civil War. However, it faced criticism for being too lenient toward the South.
it created military rule for the ten unreconstructed southern states and a new loyalty oath that disfranchised (took away the vote) from most white voters.
To be represented in Congress, 10% of the voters in a Southern state were required to take an oath of loyalty under the Reconstruction era's Wade-Davis Bill. This number was chosen as a compromise to ensure that a significant portion of the population had demonstrated loyalty to the Union, while not being so high as to exclude a majority of potential voters. This threshold aimed to facilitate the reintegration of Southern states while promoting loyalty to the Union.

Abraham Lincoln's Reconstruction Plan, known as the Ten Percent Plan, proposed that Southern states could rejoin the Union if 10% of their voters swore an oath of loyalty to the Union and accepted the abolition of slavery. Andrew Johnson's plan was similar but more lenient; it allowed for quick re-admittance of Southern states and required them to ratify the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery. Both plans mandated that Southern states' new governments ban slavery to be reintegrated into the Union. However, Johnson's approach faced significant opposition, leading to a more radical Congressional Reconstruction.
