Question

1. which idea was a part of lincolns plan for reconstruction?

former confederates should not be compensated for lost property.
state governments must grant african americans the right to vote.
the southern states had never really left the union.
african americans should be guaranteed social equality.

Explanation:

Lincoln's "10 Percent Plan" for Reconstruction was lenient, rooted in his view that secession was illegal, so southern states never formally left the Union. The other options are inconsistent with his plan: he did not support compensating Confederates, did not push for Black voting rights as part of this initial plan, and did not address social equality for African Americans in this framework.

Answer:

○ The southern states had never really left the Union.
