Why did president Lincoln reject the wade -davids bill?
President Lincoln rejected the Wade-Davis Bill because he believed it was too harsh and would alienate the Southern states during the Reconstruction process. The bill required a majority of white males in a state to take an oath of loyalty before it could be readmitted to the Union, which Lincoln felt could hinder reconciliation. Instead, he favored a more lenient approach, as demonstrated by his Ten Percent Plan, which aimed to encourage rapid reunification. Lincoln's rejection highlighted his desire for a pragmatic solution that would promote healing rather than punishment.
