Question 1 • RS AZ-US History A
The Wade-Davis Bill set stricter terms for Southern states to rejoin the Union than Lincoln’s Ten Percent Plan. It required a majority of a state’s white male citizens to swear an oath of past and future loyalty, rather than just 10 percent. The bill passed Congress, but Lincoln did not approve it; he used a pocket veto. Therefore, the best choice is “The bill required a greater show of loyalty for readmittance than Lincoln’s plan.”
