Detailed explanation-1: -Lincoln’s blueprint for Reconstruction included the Ten-Percent Plan, which specified that a southern state could be readmitted into the Union once 10 percent of its voters (from the voter rolls for the election of 1860) swore an oath of allegiance to the Union.
Detailed explanation-2: -In December, President Lincoln proposed a reconstruction program that would allow Confederate states to establish new state governments after 10 percent of their male population took loyalty oaths and the states recognized the permanent freedom of formerly enslaved people.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Ten Percent plan was a Reconstruction plan for the south put forward by Abraham Lincoln in 1863. The basics of the plan were that a state would be readmitted when 10 percent of its 1860 voting population had taken an oath of allegiance to the Union and accepted the end of slavery.
Detailed explanation-4: -President Lincoln began formulating a plan back in 1863, nearly two years before the Civil War ended. He first proposed his 10% Plan that year. This proposal stated that if 10% of the people in a Southern seceded state voted to re-enter the Union and accepted Emancipation, they could come back into the United States.
