Abstract

During the American Civil War the Southern states seceded from the Union. Once the Confederacy was defeated Lincoln and his associates seriously considered tactics on how to reintegrate the Southern states and what to do with Confederate leaders and the freed slaves. Lincoln wanted a mild strategy and in regards to the Reconstructionist policy led a group known as the "moderates" and was opposed by the Radical Republicans. Lincoln wanted to reunite the nation as quickly and painlessly as possible. He instituted the Ten Percent Plan which decreed that when ten percent of a state's voters had pledged their allegiance to the Union, a full pardon would be offered to the state and it would be reintegrated into the Union.
