Lincoln didn't agree with this bill because he thought it was too harsh. He had a more lenient Ten Percent Plan, which allowed southerners still hold/run for office,unlike the Wade-Davis Bill. Unfortunately Lincoln was assassinated before the veto was official, and the Ten Percent Plan was put in effect.
Wade-Davis treated Southerners as traitors who deserved to be punished. It also required Southern states to write a new state constitution banning slavery before they get back into union. Lincoln maintained that no state had a right to secede, that claims of secession were null and void that these states were still in the union. Further, Congress did not have the constitutional power to force a state change its state constitution.
