Question

In the space provided, compare and contrast Lincoln’s Reconstruction policy to the policy proposed in the Wade-Davis bill. Which do you believe to be the most effective policy, and why?

Answer 1

Explanation:

It is required that approximately half of the voters in any former rebel state can take the loyalty oath. The famous Wade-Davis bill opposed the "10 percent plan" of Lincon. ... In contrast to the Ten Percent Plan, the bill ensured the re-admittance to Union on majority in every Southern state for taking the oath.
