Johnson was facing something no president has ever faced. At first his hatred of the "stuck up" planter aristocrats flared, but time and responsibility made him see that wouldn't work. He began to veer toward Lincoln's "rosewater" ten-percent plan. Lincoln decreed in 1863 that as a first step a group of voters equal to one-tenth of the voting population of any southern state in 1860 must take the oath of allegiance to the United States. The next step would be creation of a new state government under a constitution that accepted the abolition of slavery. By 1864 several southern states had reorganized their government to fit the plan. The plan adopted by Johnson in 1865 was similar to Lincoln's but it was more generous.
