His goal was to end slavery forever in all parts of the United States. But, Lincoln wanted the North and South to come together in peace after the Civil War. On December 8, 1863, Lincoln issued his Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction. First, he offered to pardon to any southerner who would take an oath of loyalty to the Union and agree to accept all presidential decrees and congressional acts relating to slavery. Second, when ten percent of the people in a Confederate state who had been eligible to vote in 1860 took the oath of loyalty, they could organize a government, elect representatives to Congress, and consider themselves restored to the Union.

Voter turnout is lower in the United States than in many other democracies.
According to the Washington Post, "Overall, turnout in the midterm elections was projected at 42 percent of registered voters, about 1.2 percentage points higher than in 2006." (It should be noted that even though there was a slightly larger turnout than in 2006, about 58% of voters stayed home.) Also, according to most polls, the makeup of the electorate this time was different: there was a large "enthusiasm gap," such that Republicans voted in larger percentages than Democrats did; also, younger voters decreased, as did minority voters; and older voters, as well as white voters, came out in larger numbers than in 2008. 82.5 million people voted, many of whom were spurred by anger over the lingering recession. But it is worth noting that this number was far fewer than the more than 131 million people who voted in the presidential election of 2008-- generally, presidential elections bring out a much greater number of voters than midterm elections do.

Approximately 70 percent of all white men in the United States ages 18 and over are registered to vote, and about 63 percent of all white American men actually participated in the last presidential election year of 2008. From those figures, we can assume that about 52.9 million white males voted in the 2008 General Elections, making up about 40.3 percent of all the votes cast. In the 2010 congressional elections, white men made up approximately 38 percent of all participating voters. Only white women represented a larger percentage of the votes cast (40 percent).
