Which one of the following required the majority of the electorate to take an oath before a state could be readmitted to the union?
freedmen's bureau
force act
wade-davis bill

The correct answer is:

Wade-Davis Bill.

The Wade–Davis Bill (1864) was proposed for the Reconstruction of the South by two Radical Republicans, Senator Benjamin Wade of Ohio and Representative Henry Winter Davis of Maryland.

This bill established that the re-admittance to the Union of former Confederate states could only be granted if a majority in each ex-Confederate state took the Ironclad Oath to declare they had never seconded the Confederacy.

It never took effect because it was pocket vetoed by Lincoln, who wanted to mend the Union by carrying out the Ten percent plan.

i think the answer is b.

the assassination of president lincoln was just one part of a larger plot to decapitate the federal government of the u.s. after the civil war. the first reaction to lincoln’s death was disbelief. then it quickly changed to grief. abraham lincoln’s death created an outpouring of grief from citizens in both the north and the south.

explanation:

lincoln was the first u.s. president to be assassinated. president abraham lincoln, america’s civil war leader, was assassinated just five days after confederate general robert e. lee surrendered his army at appomattox court house, ending the four-year war between the states. on the evening of april 14, 1865, lincoln was attending a performance of our american cousin at ford’s theatre in washington, d.c. john wilkes booth – a 26-year old actor, confederate sympathizer, and white supremacist – slipped into the presidential box and shot lincoln in the head. john wilkes booth and his conspirators had initially planned to kidnap lincoln to save the confederate states. but as the confederacy faltered, booth’s thoughts turned to murder. booth may have decided to act on his hatred after lincoln endorsed giving the right to vote to african-american men who had served in the union army.
