- Abolition of slavery in all states — Yes. The Wade–Davis bill required new state governments to abolish slavery as a condition of readmission.
- 50% of a state’s population to swear loyalty to the Union — Effectively yes: the bill required a majority (about 50%) of a state's voters (those qualified in 1860) to take an “ironclad” loyalty oath.
The other two are incorrect: the 10% loyalty rule was Lincoln’s plan, and the Wade–Davis bill did not require universal African American suffrage.
