President Abraham Lincoln's plan did not guarantee African American equality. The Wade-Davis Bill passed by the Radical Republicans demanded guarantees of African American equality. Lincoln killed this bill with a "pocket veto."
Because Lincoln's plan had never been presented to the Congress. It was only proposed by Lincoln to the members of the Government on Apr. 11,1865, who repulsed it. Louisiana was the sole State where the plan had been provisionally applied and, after the President was assassinated, it had been nullified, also because it was considered too lenient by the Radical Republicans who had the majority in the Congress and a part of the public opinion as well.
