True
The Wade-Davis Bill, proposed in 1864 during the American Civil War, aimed to impose stricter requirements for southern states to rejoin the Union. It required that a majority of white male residents in a state take an "ironclad" oath of allegiance, which was a significant departure from President Abraham Lincoln's more lenient approach. The bill's strict provisions effectively made it harder for southern states to re-enter the Union.
