Lincoln's main objective for Reconstruction was to reunify the nation and facilitate the reintegration of the Southern states following the Civil War. He aimed to achieve this through a lenient approach, promoting forgiveness and healing rather than punishment. His Ten Percent Plan proposed that a Southern state could rejoin the Union if 10% of its voters pledged loyalty to the Union and accepted the abolition of slavery. Ultimately, Lincoln sought to restore national unity while ensuring civil rights for freed slaves.
