Lincoln's Reconstruction Plan, primarily articulated in his 1863 Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction, aimed to reunify the nation swiftly and leniently after the Civil War. The plan proposed that a Southern state could be readmitted to the Union once 10% of its voters took an oath of loyalty to the Union and accepted the end of slavery. This approach emphasized forgiveness rather than punishment, reflecting Lincoln's desire for a peaceful reconciliation. Additionally, it sought to encourage the South to rejoin the Union by offering incentives and minimizing harsh penalties.
