Question

1. what legislation required a majority of a states prewar voters to swear loyalty to the union before restoration could begin?○ wade-davis bill○ compromise of 1877○ civil rights act of 1866○ freedmens bureau

Explanation:

The Wade-Davis Bill was a Reconstruction-era proposal that required a majority (over 50%) of a seceded state's prewar voters to swear an ironclad oath of loyalty to the Union before the state could begin the process of being restored to the Union. The other options do not match this requirement: the Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction, the Civil Rights Act of 1866 granted citizenship rights to Black Americans, and the Freedmen's Bureau provided aid to formerly enslaved people.

Answer:

A. Wade-Davis Bill
