The text authors claim that the Fourteenth Amendment "was the South's last chance for a lenient peace"
Make a judgment about the "leniency" of all the Reconstruction policies; Lincoln's, Johnson's, the Fourteenth Amendment, and the Military Reconstruction Acts.
Lincoln's and Johnson's plans did not require black suffrage, the Fourteenth Amendment encouraged it, and the Military Reconstruction Acts required it. Lincoln did not require the South to repudiate the Confederate debt, Johnson's plan and the Fourteenth Amendment did. The number of former Confederates who were temporarily barred from voting and officeholding increased with each plan. Johnson required ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, Congress would require ratification of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments as well.
