True or False. (need help)?

Abraham Lincoln favored a stringent plan of reconstruction to impress upon southeners the folly secessions and damages they caused by the civil war ?True or False. (need help)?
Absolutely false!





Even before the war ended, President Lincoln began the task of restoration. Motivated by a desire to build a strong Republican party in the South and to end the bitterness engendered by war, he issued (Dec. 8, 1863) a proclamation of amnesty and reconstruction for those areas of the Confederacy occupied by Union armies. It offered pardon, with certain exceptions, to any Confederate who would swear to support the Constitution and the Union. Once a group in any conquered state equal in number to one tenth of that state's total vote in the presidential election of 1860 took the prescribed oath and organized a government that abolished slavery, he would grant that government executive recognition.True or False. (need help)?
This statement is false. Lincoln wanted to be merciful.
