Reconstruction of Southern States

1865~1877

There was a difference on Lincoln and Johnson's reconstruction plan.

Lincoln's Plan 

1. All people except for the high ranking Confederate civil and military leaders will pardoned after taking an oath of allegiance with United States
2. If 10% of vote to take the oath of loyalty the state is joining United States
3. Congress wanted to punish South like a conquered country-Passed Wade-Davis bill. Lincoln wouldn't sign bill, so the bill died quietly. 

Johnson's plan

1. Some groups not granted in general pardon. *owned $20000 or more in property.  *high civil or military positions had to apply directly to be pardoned.
2. Radicals agreed with Johnson until Jefferson Davis was captured/imprisoned. *punish the South  *make sure newly freedmen would not be disfranchised(voting rights taken away)
3. Radicals in Congress made Johnson have more requirements *13th Amendment *nullify ordinance of secession *promise NOT to replay loans that help finance Confederacy.
