The Wade-Davis Bill was written by the Radical Republicans. This group was known for its strong opposition to President Abraham Lincoln's more moderate approach to Reconstruction following the Civil War. The Wade-Davis Bill, introduced in 1864 by Senators Benjamin Wade and Henry Winter Davis, proposed stricter requirements for Southern states to rejoin the Union compared to Lincoln's Ten Percent Plan. The bill aimed to impose more rigorous conditions on the Southern states, reflecting the Radical Republicans' commitment to civil rights and equal treatment for freed slaves. Ultimately, President Lincoln pocket-vetoed the bill, which contributed to tensions between him and the Radical Republicans in Congress.
