Correct: emancipation of slaves and reunion of the states.

At the Hampton Roads Conference (Feb. 3, 1865) Lincoln (and Seward) pressed restoration of the Union and the end of slavery (they were pushing toward abolition by constitutional amendment). He did not offer immediate voting rights for former slaves as a general peace term, nor did he promise reimbursement (compensation) to slaveholders as a condition of peace.
