The Reconstruction Plans were made to rebuild the south and return states back to
the Union. Lincoln simply wanted the reuniting of the country. With Lincoln's
plan, southerns would be granted a pardon if they took an oath. This plan
allowed states to form new governments and constitutions if 10% of their voters
supported the Union
Henry McNeal turner was a minister elected to the Georgi General Assembly, but
he and other black legislators were removed by the democratic legislature. The
Democrats claimed that the right to vote did not give them the right to hold
office. The federal government protested, and the black legislators returned to
their seats.
