Lincoln's ideas for the Reconstruction of the South were primarily focused on reconciliation and rapid reintegration of the Southern states into the Union. He proposed the Ten Percent Plan, which allowed a Southern state to rejoin the Union if 10% of its voters took an oath of loyalty to the Union and accepted the end of slavery. Lincoln emphasized leniency and forgiveness, aiming to heal the nation rather than punish the South. His approach sought to restore civic order and promote economic recovery while ensuring that the newly freed slaves would be treated fairly.
