Explanation:

During the summer of 1864, months before the Civil War ended, Republicans in Congress passed their first Reconstruction legislation. Among other provisions, the Wade-Davis Bill would have banned anyone who had voluntarily fought for the Confederacy from voting or holding public office. Lincoln believed the legislation treated former Confederates too harshly, so he blocked it.
