What plan required 50 percent of southerns voters to take an oath?

The plan that required 50 percent of Southern voters to take an oath of allegiance was known as the Wade-Davis Bill. Proposed in 1864 by Congressmen Henry Winter Davis and Benjamin Wade, it aimed to establish stricter terms for the Reconstruction of the South following the Civil War. The bill required that a majority of white males in a state take an oath affirming their loyalty to the Union before the state could be readmitted. However, President Abraham Lincoln pocket-vetoed the bill, and it never became law.

It allowed a Southern state to be readmitted to the Union once 10% of its voters, based on the 1860 election rolls, took an oath of allegiance to the Union and accepted the end of slavery. This lenient approach was designed to encourage rapid reintegration and healing, though it faced criticism for being too forgiving toward Confederates. Ultimately, the plan was never fully implemented due to Lincoln's assassination and the subsequent shift in policies under his successors.
