Lincoln offered the moderate Louisiana 10 percent plan. If 10 percent of the stateÕs electorate took the oath of loyalty to the Union, the state would be readmitted into Congress. The state would be required to abolish slavery when it ratified its new constitution and black Freedmen workers would be required to have pay. Also, Rebels who took an oath of loyalty to the Union would be granted amnesty. LincolnÕs successor Andrew Johnson offered his presidential Reconstruction (also moderate) by pardoning many former Confederate leaders and soldiers and having no trials for treason. Under JohnsonÕs plan, the new southern state governments were able to restrict the black freedmen under the Black Codes.

What are names for two plans for reconstruction and how were they different from each other?

What was the Southern response to President Lincoln's announced plans for reconstruction?

President Lincoln announced on December 8, 1863 his plans for unifying the nation and his plans for reconstruction were for the most part rejected by the South. The reasons for rejection, however were not all the same. Many Southerners believed that Lincoln was premature in basically predicting the Union would end the Southern rebellion. History does show it was premature. In the Summer of 1864, for example, the Union's overland campaign did not assure victory. In fact, Lincoln was not even sure he would be the Republican Party's nominee. Any Southerners who had never wanted to secede believed that Lincoln's announcement would only cause the South to dig in and fight even harder to avoid defeat. Many Southern politicians used Lincoln's proposal as a chance to ridicule him, and perhaps by doing this aid Southern sympathizers in the North who saw Lincoln and the Republican Party as oppressors.

What did president Lincoln and Johnson have in common?

They had little in common, other than the desire to see the South back in the Union. Johnson was a slave-owning Democrat from a quasi-Southern state. Lincoln was a Midwestern Republican who fought a war to end slavery. The adoption of the "National Union" banner by the Republicans was successful in assuring Lincoln's re-election, but Lincoln's assassination meant a Democrat (Johnson) became President, assuring his failure to enact Lincoln's plans for Reconstruction.
