1 - 10% of any southern state that votes to be loyal to Lincoln and the union will be added to the union

2 - the state will have representatives in Congress

3 - only leaders that encouraged the civil war will not be forgiven

4 - the state has to end slavery

Wade-Davis plan: - (radical republican plan)

1 - 50% percent of any southern state has to vote

2 - they must promise to end slavery

3 - won’t have representatives in Congress
