"10 percent" Reconstruction plan
The Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction in 1863 was part of Lincoln's Ten-Percent Plan. The plan for reconstruction was based on forgiveness to unite the northern and southern states.
The Ten Percent Plan was put forth by Abraham Lincoln as a model for the Reconstruction of the Southern states after the Civil War had ended. Basically the rule for reinstatement to the Union was that only 10% of the vote in 1860 swore allegiance to the United States and agreed to the emancipation of all slaves.
ten percent
The 10 Percent Plan.
The 10 Percent Plan was the title of Lincoln's plan for the South's recovery from from the war.
The actual process began in 1863, with the Louisiana Plan, but was only implemented after the war's end in 1865. Reconstruction ended in 1877 with the Compromise of 1877. Congress would not follow Lincoln's "Louisiana plan" and in December, 1864 refused to acknowledge the Congressional delegations from Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee. President Andrew Johnson tried to implement a plan similar to one considered by Abraham Lincoln, but Johnson effectively rescinded the confiscation of lands intended for freed slaves. The Radical Republicans established military governors to oversee mandated changes in the Southern state governments.
Lincoln's plan did not guarantee African American equality.
