A is the answer

Explanation:

he Wade-Davis bill of 1864, which was proposed by Congress, and voted in favor also, sunk without seeing the light of day because of the pocket veto that was imposed on it by President Abraham Lincoln. The reason for the veto was that, Lincoln believed it was too harsh on Southern states, and it would impede the programs of Reconstruction. Among the things that was instituted by the bill, proposed by Senator Benjamin Wade of Ohio and Representative Henry Winter Davis, of Maryland, was that for a previous Confederate states, re-admittance would only be accepted if: at least 50% of their white males took an oath of loyalty towards the union and the other was that states would be required to grant their former slaves, the right to vote.

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
