The Wade-Davis Bill, proposed in 1864, was considered by some to be fair because it sought to impose stricter requirements for Southern states to rejoin the Union, emphasizing loyalty and civil rights for freed slaves. However, others viewed it as foul due to its harsh terms, such as requiring a majority of white males to take a loyalty oath, which would have significantly delayed Reconstruction. Ultimately, the bill reflected the deep divisions within the country regarding how to handle the post-Civil War South and the integration of freed slaves into society. Its rejection by Congress illustrated the contentious nature of Reconstruction policies.
