Explanation

President Abraham Lincoln proposed the Ten Percent Plan in 1863 as a lenient way to reintegrate the Confederate states back into the Union. It specified that a southern state could be readmitted once 10 percent of its voters from the 1860 election swore an oath of allegiance to the Union. The other options are fictional or unrelated historical agreements.
