Question

what was the response of congress toward lincolns reconstruction plan of forgive and forget?

it passed the wade-davis bill.

it passed the johnson-sherman bill.

congress tried to impeach lincoln.

congress forced him to retract his idea.

Explanation:

Lincoln's Reconstruction plan was lenient (forgive and forget). Congress, with more radical Republicans, wanted a harsher approach. The Wade - Davis Bill was their response, requiring a majority of a state's pre - war voters to take an oath of loyalty and excluding high - ranking Confederates from participating in reconstruction, contrasting with Lincoln's 10% plan. The Johnson - Sherman bill is not related to this context, Lincoln was not impeached during his time (he was assassinated), and Congress didn't force him to retract his idea in this way.

Answer:

A. It passed the Wade - Davis bill.
