The Wade-Davis Bill of 1864 was proposed because the Northerners thought that Abraham Lincoln was being too easy on the Southerners with the 10% Plan. The Wade-Davis Bill was written by two Radical Republicans, Senator Benjamin Wade of Ohio and Representative Henry Winter Davis of Maryland.
The Wade-Davis Bill stated:
1. States that still need to be re-admitted to The Union, after the Civil War, would have the govenor to be appointed by the President.
2. 50% or more of the population is require to take "Ironclad Oath", then they can elect representatives to Congress.
3. Punish Confederate Leaders by stripping them of their property and pay back depts during the War.
4. The South must abolish Slavery.
If the states met all requirements, the states could be re-admitted to the Union.
