South after the war ended.• April 14, 1865—five days after the South

not able to put his ideas into practice.

The Ten Percent Plan• 10% of voters in the seceded states must swear

loyalty under oath to the Union.• The seceded states must abolish slavery.

process.

must swear loyalty to the United States.• The seceded states must abolish slavery.• Former Confederate soldiers or volunteers cannot hold office

or vote.

but ended up making it relatively easy for them. • Allowed for segregation of the races.

states must swear loyalty to the United States.• Formerly Confederate states must ratify the 13th

Amendment.• Former Confederate officials may hold office and vote.

States that had rebelled. • They also wanted to protect the newly freed slaves.

13th AmendmentJanuary 31, 1865

“The final announcement of the vote was the sequel for a whirlwind of applause wholly unprecedented in Congressional annals,” reported the Chicago Tribune. “The galleries led off, giving cheer after cheer. The members on the floor then joined in the shouting, throwing up their hats and clapping their hands.”
