The type of reconstruction that aimed not to punish the South was known as "Presidential Reconstruction," primarily implemented by Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. This approach focused on quickly reintegrating Southern states into the Union with lenient terms, emphasizing forgiveness and reconciliation rather than retribution. Lincoln's Ten Percent Plan, for instance, offered a path to readmission for states that had a significant portion of voters pledge allegiance to the Union, reflecting a desire for healing rather than punishment.
