what was lincolns ten percent plan designed to do?

a. place heavy taxes on the south

b. allow a few of the freed slaves to vote

c. bring the south back into the union quickly

d. allow only the border states to return to the union

Explanation:

Lincoln's Ten Percent Plan was part of his Reconstruction strategy. It required that 10% of a Southern state's voters (from the 1860 election) take an oath of loyalty to the Union, after which the state could form a new government and rejoin the Union. This was intended to reintegrate the South quickly, not to tax heavily (A), give few freed slaves the vote (B, as the plan didn't focus on this), or limit it to border states (D, border states were already in the Union).

Answer:

C. Bring the South back into the Union quickly
