In late 1863, Lincoln announced a formal plan for reconstruction: # A general amnesty would be granted to all who would take an oath of loyalty to the United States and pledge to obey all Federal Laws pertaining to slavery # High Confederate officials and military leaders were to be temporarily excluded from the process # When one tenth of the number of voters who had participated in the 1860 election had taken the oath within a particular state, then that state could launch a new government and elect representatives to Congress.

Answer 3

The Radical Republicans sought to punish the South and destroy the society that had been based on slavery, and that still tried to maintain power after the Civil War. To accomplish this, Southern states were put under military jurisdiction, and their Democratic governments replaced with Republican candidates, some of them the first elected African-Americans. States were required to ratify the 13th and 14th Amendments in order to regain representation in Congress.

The election of 1866 brought many Radical Republicans to power in Congress, and they blocked any attempts by President Johnson to alter their plans. Eventually Johnson was impeached and nearly removed from office.
