Answer 1

Lincoln’s attitude toward Reconstruction

Explanation:

• In Lincoln 's blueprint for restoring it was included a plan for ten percent stating that a South State could be re-admitted to the Union if ten percent of the electorate (of the 1860 election lists) "swore an allegiance vow" against the Union.  
• Voters could then elect delegates to draft revised constitutional structures and form new state governments. Southerners would be granted complete forgiveness except for senior Confederate army officials and govt officials. Lincoln vowed the Southerners, he would safe guard their private property, but not their slaves.  
• The Ten-Per cent Initiative has in many ways has been more of a tactical manoeuvre than a restoration plan. Sooner rather than later Lincoln decided to end the war. He believed that a long war could lose national interest and would never unite north and south if fighting did not end quickly. He had justified concerns that, by the end of 1863, many Democrats had called for a ceasefire and a negotiated solution. The 10% Plan of Lincoln has thus been indulgent — a bid to get the South to give up.
