In 1863, lincoln announced his ten-percent plan of reconstruction for occupied louisiana and other areas of the confederacy occupied by union forces. the plan proved controversial. identify the statements that accurately describe lincoln’s ten-percent plan of reconstruction.

By December 1863, states such as Arkansas, Tennessee, and Louisiana had been cleared of rebels. Accordingly, the question arose about the organization of a civil government in them and the inclusion of these states in the Union. Therefore, on December 8, 1863, Abraham Lincoln published the Amnesty Proclamation, which became the first plan for the Reconstruction of the former rebel states. According to the document, if in the former rebel state, 10 percent of the citizens able to vote as of 1860 took an oath of allegiance to the Union (including Confederate servicemen with a rank lower than colonel), then they could choose the legislature and the governor subject to the legislative abolition of slavery. Thus, the plan called for a Reconstruction under presidential control, relying on the constitutional right of the president to grant pardon. It can be assumed that, putting forward such a plan for Reconstruction, Abraham Lincoln intended, on the one hand, to protect the freedom of former slaves in the newly acquired states, and, on the other, to attract rebels tired of the war to the Union, guaranteeing them full restoration of their rights after taking the oath of allegiance to the Union.
