The Lincoln administration aimed for a moderate and conciliatory approach toward the defeated South, focusing on reconciliation rather than punishment. His Ten Percent Plan proposed that if 10% of a state's voters took an oath of loyalty to the Union, they could reestablish their government. Lincoln believed that a lenient policy would encourage Southern states to quickly reintegrate into the Union and promote healing after the Civil War. However, his assassination in 1865 led to a more punitive Reconstruction policy under his successors.
