Question

President Abraham Lincoln offered a parole to all southerners who were willing to swear an oath of loyalty to the united states

Answer 1

This is true.

Lincoln's 10% Plan would have given parole to Southerners if 10% of the population of the State swore a loyalty oath.

This plan was opposed by the Radical Republicans in Congress who felt like the traitorous Confederates weren't being punished enough.
