Lincoln's terms of pardon and amnesty to Confederates, outlined in his Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction in December 1863, aimed to facilitate national reconciliation after the Civil War. He offered a full pardon and restoration of property rights (excluding enslaved people) to any Confederate who would take an oath of allegiance to the Union and accept the end of slavery. This was contingent on 10% of voters in a state taking the oath, allowing that state to reestablish its government. Lincoln's approach emphasized leniency and the hope of reintegrating the Southern states swiftly into the Union.
