What was lincolns 10 percentage plan?

Lincoln's Ten Percent Plan was a reconstruction strategy proposed during the Civil War, aimed at reintegrating Southern states into the Union. It stipulated that a state could be readmitted if 10% of its voters from the 1860 election took an oath of allegiance to the Union and accepted the end of slavery. This lenient approach was intended to encourage quicker reconciliation, but it faced criticism for being too forgiving towards the South. Ultimately, the plan was never fully implemented due to Lincoln's assassination and the subsequent shift in Reconstruction policies.
