State needed to abolish slavery before being readmitted, repeal secession ordinances, ratify 13th amendment, and disown Confederate debts.
"amnesty and pardon" to any Southerner who would swear allegiance and loyalty to the Union and the Constitution. Ex-Confederate leaders were not be eligible for amnesty (like in Lincoln's plan) as well as individuals (almost always plantation owners) whose property was worth over $20,000.
