Lincoln's Ten Percent Plan was designed to facilitate the reconstruction of the Southern states after the Civil War. It proposed that a Southern state could be readmitted into the Union once ten percent of its voters, based on the 1860 election rolls, took an oath of allegiance to the Union and accepted the end of slavery. This plan aimed to encourage a swift reconciliation and reintegration of the South while promoting loyalty to the Union. However, it faced criticism for being too lenient and was eventually overshadowed by more stringent Reconstruction efforts.
