Answer:

The correct answer is A. The Presidential plan for Reconstruction was the one that tried to allow the former Confederacy to rejoin the Union the most quickly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first Reconstruction policies were implemented after the proclamation of Emancipation, on January 1, 1863, when the Confederate States passed one after the other under the control of the Union army. Lincoln's orientation was aimed at rapidly ensuring the re-establishment of the unity of the country, by favoring an amnesty policy which was to allow the elites of the South to be quickly involved again in the management of the country. On December 8, 1863, Lincoln set out the 10% plan which postulated the reintegration of the southern states into the Union once 10% of the voters of 1860 had sworn allegiance. President Abraham Lincoln could thus install from 1864 several "reconstructed" governments in the states of Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana.

After Lincoln's assassination, President Andrew Johnson, a former Tennessee senator and slave owner, followed a more lenient policy toward the ex-Confederates. He appointed new governors in the summer of 1865 and quickly declared that the objectives of the war - national unity and the abolition of slavery - had been achieved and that the Reconstruction was therefore complete.
