| high ranking confederates could receive pardons only by appealing to the president. This was to humiliate the confederate leaders | Required voters in each Southern state to take an oath of loyalty to the union | 1 of the requirements of the wade-davis bill said that majority of the state's white male adults had to pledge loyalty to the union | |

"white men alone must manage the south" he stated. | When 10% of the voter had taken an oath, the state could form a new state government | the second said that all new state constitutions had to ban slavery | |
