Answer - B - Lincoln’s 10 Percent Plan included a plan to readmit former Confederate states to the Union.

Key Takeaway: During Reconstruction, President Abraham Lincoln wanted to bring the Union back together swiftly and without incident. In his opinion, the Southern states never actually seceded because the government won the Civil War. To ease re-unification, Lincoln adopted his “10 Percent Plan,” which promised to allow states to re-enter the Union if 10 percent of that state’s voters would swear allegiance to the United States of America.
