any former Confederate supporters could take part in government.

Explanation

The Wade-Davis Bill proposed stricter terms for bringing Southern states back into the Union than Lincoln’s plan. It called for military governors to oversee the states during Reconstruction. The ten-percent loyalty requirement belonged to Lincoln’s plan, while Wade-Davis required a majority of white male citizens to swear loyalty before a state could form a new government.
