Ten percent plan:-
1- 10% of any southern state that votes to be loyal to Lincoln and the union will be added to the union
2- the state will have representatives in Congress
3- only leaders that encouraged the civil war will not be forgiven
4- the state has to end slavery

Wade-Davis plan:- (radical republican plan)

1- 50% percent of any southern state has to vote
2- they must promise to end slavery
3- won’t have representatives in Congress
*lincoln used his pocket veto because he believed the wade Davis plan slowed down the process of reconstruction.

*reconstruction failed. Pros:-
1- south was halfway rebuilt
2- slaves were free

Cons:-
1- Black codes, ku klux klan, and (poll tax, literacy test, and grandfather clause) made the freed men’s life’s restricted.
