Under Lincoln's Ten Percent Plan, a southern state could form a new government after 10 percent of its voters swore an oath of loyalty to the United States. This plan aimed to reintegrate the southern states into the Union following the Civil War and included the stipulation that while states were encouraged to abolish slavery, they were not required to do so immediately. Voters in the reconstructed government could elect members of Congress, provided they met the loyalty requirements.
