After the war ended Lincoln proposed a reconstruction plan (which he preferred to call "repairing plan", for the Union had not been virtually destroyed but only needs to be repaired), based upon following conditions:
- if in a former Confederate State at least the 10% of voters in 1860 had sworn loyalty to the Union, renouncing all armed action to combat it, giving rise to a local government that engaged itself to implement these resolutions together with the gradual emancipation of the slaves, that government would be considered legitimate representative of that state which would have been restored in its ancient rights inside the Union.
This plan had already been implemented in Louisiana before the end of the war.
