Both Lincoln and Johnson supported lenient plans for Reconstruction.

10% Plan (Lincoln): Once ten percent of a southern state's 1860 voters had taken an oath of loyalty, the state could rejoin the Union.

Both Lincoln and Johnson provided for a generous amnesty to allow Southerners to retain their property and reacquire their political rights.

Johnson supported the 13th Amendment that abolished slavery but was reluctant to support Black suffrage believing this was an issue for states
