Compare and contrast presidential and congressional ("Radical") Reconstruction.

There
were basically 3 plans for , Lincolns plan, Johnsons plan, and the Radical Republican
plan.

 

Lincolns plan was known as the 10% Plan. It was
simple. With a few exceptions, Lincoln offered pardons to any Confederate who swore allegiance
to the Union and the Constitution.  When the number of people who took an oath of allegiance
equaled 10% of the number of voters who participated in the election of 1860, the state would be
readmitted to the Union after organizing a new state government which abolished slavery. 
Lincoln was assassinated before this plan could be put into effect.

 

Johnsons plan was also lenient towards the southern states.  He
would grant pardons to anyone taking a loyalty oath to the U.S. except for high ranking
Confederate political and military leaders, and people owning property worth more than $20,000.
States would be readmitted to the Union once they created a new state government that abolished
slavery, repealed the states...
