Republican US Congress rejected Andrew Johnson's Reconstruction Plan because it made too many concessions for former slave owners.
US President Lincoln had planned generous conditions for the Reconstruction Era for the former Confederate states. His assassination in 1865, negated these generous terms and the radical wing of the Republican Party set about to punish the South severely.
President Andrew Johnson wanted the Reconstruction policy to be more forgiving to the former confederate states. Members of the Republican party did not like this.
The relationship between Congress and President Andrew Johnson was marked by significant conflict and tension. Johnson, a Southern Democrat who succeeded Abraham Lincoln, often clashed with the Republican-majority Congress over Reconstruction policies and civil rights for freed slaves. His frequent vetoes of key legislation, such as the Civil Rights Act and the Freedmen's Bureau, led to his impeachment by the House of Representatives in 1868, although he was acquitted by the Senate. This contentious dynamic reflected broader struggles over the direction of the Reconstruction era.
