Question

Which plan for Reconstruction was made by republicans in Congress who did not of Lincoln's plan?

A. 10 percent plan

B. Reconstruction Acts

C. Wade-Davis Bill

D. Majority Loyalty Plan

Answer 1

The correct answer is the C) Wade Davis Bill.

Many of the Republicans who disagreed with Lincoln's 10 % Plan were known as radical Republicans. This faction of the Republican party wanted to punish the Confederacy harshly, since they considered them the reason for the Civil War. This is why the Wade-Davis Bill was much more unfavorable to Southerners compared to Lincoln's 10% Plan.

Ultimately, the Wade Davis Bill is not used as it is pocket vetoed by president Abe Lincoln.
