However, Radical Republicans in Congress refused to count any of the votes from Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee, rejecting Lincoln's moderate Reconstruction plan as too lenient (Figure 2). They passed the more demanding Wade-Davis Billin 1864, requiring 50 percent of the voters to take the loyalty oath and forbidding anyone who had supported the Confederacy of holding public or federal office. Lincoln pocket-vetoed this bill.
