Question
what was the main goal of president lincolns reconstruction plan?
o to slowly readmit the confederate states to the union
o to harshly punish former confederate military leaders
o to limit the influence of the southern states in congress
o to help the nation heal and move past the war quickly
Lincoln's Reconstruction plan, such as the 10 - Percent Plan, aimed to reunite the nation as quickly as possible. He wanted to heal the country after the Civil War. Slowing readmission (opposite of his plan which was relatively lenient for readmission), harsh punishment (not Lincoln's approach as he was more conciliatory), and limiting Southern influence (not the main focus of his plan which was on reunification) are incorrect. His focus was on national healing and moving past the war.
