They believed that his reconstruction plan, the 10% Plan, was too lenient on the former Confederate States. His plan concluded that only 10% of a state's population had to pledge allegiance with the U.S. to gain statehood again. They believed that the Freedmen population, who would gain their right to vote, would fill the 10% needed to gain statehood and the original seceders would not be the ones pledging.

The Radical Republicans opposed President Lincoln's plan for Reconstruction because they believed it was too lenient towards the South and did not do enough to protect the rights of newly freed African Americans. They sought a more stringent approach that would impose harsher penalties on Southern states and ensure civil rights and political participation for former slaves.

Their vision aimed for a more transformative reconstruction that would fundamentally change Southern society.
