How long did president Lincoln's plan for reconstruction treat southern states?

President Lincoln's plan for Reconstruction, known as the Ten Percent Plan, aimed to reintegrate Southern states into the Union as quickly as possible. It stipulated that a Southern state could rejoin the Union if 10% of its voters took an oath of allegiance to the Union. This lenient approach was designed to promote healing and reconciliation rather than punishment, reflecting Lincoln's belief in a swift restoration of the Union. However, this plan faced opposition and was ultimately not fully implemented before his assassination in 1865.
