Before he was assassinated, President Lincoln proposed a plan to bring the South back into the fold.

Lincoln's 10 Percent Plan was intended to bring the South back to heel while maintaining their dignity.

Lincoln was reunification over all else

This annoyed many in Congress who wanted the South punished for their treason.
