Answer 1

Eligibility to vote under the Wade-Davis Bill required not having served the Confederacy in an official capacity, not having borne arms against the U.S., and swearing the Ironclad Oath.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the Wade–Davis Bill, Southern men would be allowed to vote in the Union if they met certain conditions. Specifically, they would be eligible if they had not held a military or civil office in the Confederacy and could prove they had not voluntarily borne arms against the United States. Additionally, they must swear an oath of allegiance, known as the Ironclad Oath, to the United States. There was no provision that allowed someone to vote simply because they were related to a qualified voter. Lastly, offering to vote and take the oath was part of the conditions for eligibility. This bill, however, was never signed into law due to President Lincoln's pocket veto, and thus, these specific conditions never came into effect.
