during the civil war, wade was highly critical of president abraham lincoln's leadership. in opposition to lincoln's post-war plans, wade sponsored the wade–davis bill, which proposed strict terms for the re-admittance of confederate states. he also helped pass the homestead act of 1862 and the morrill act of 1862. in 1868, the house of representatives impeached president johnson for his defiance of the tenure of office act. wade's unpopularity with his more moderate republican colleagues may have been a factor in johnson's acquittal by the senate. wade lost his senate re-election bid in 1868 but remained active in law and politics until his death in 1878.
