Identify the Reconstruction Plan

Medium Period 5: 1844–1877 Reconstruction Plans

As the United States began the process of Reconstruction after the Civil War, different leaders proposed varying approaches to reunification and rebuilding. One such plan was aimed at hastening the reintegration of Southern states and outlining specific terms for their readmission into the Union. This plan promoted the idea of pardoning most Confederates and restoring their property rights, while holding out the possibility of voting rights for some African Americans. This plan ultimately faced criticism for being too lenient and was met with resistance from Radical Republicans who wanted more stringent measures. Which Reconstruction plan does this description most closely refer to?
