This first step towards the Reconstruction period, the President Johnson Proclamation of Amnesty, was deemed as too generous for Radical Republicans. The Amnesty pardoned most Confederates and remitting confiscated lands.
President Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Abraham Lincoln, initially supported a lenient approach to Reconstruction but faced opposition from Radical Republicans in Congress. The Radical Reconstruction plan, which aimed to impose stricter measures on the Southern states and ensure civil rights for freed slaves, was largely driven by Congress rather than Johnson himself. Ultimately, his resistance to the Radical Reconstruction efforts led to his impeachment in 1868.
President Andrew Johnson stopped punitive actions against the South. He pardoned hundreds of Confederate officers and returned confiscated lands back to plantation owners. He gutted the Freedman Bureau of power and funding and abruptly proclaimed reconstruction over in 1865. His actions angered the radical Republicans.

The radical Republicans, led by Thaddeus Stephens.
Although he ran for President as a radical, Andrew Johnson\'s policies were not favorable to the Radical Republican\'s agenda. The Radical Republicans did not respond favorably to Andrew Johnson\'s policies and they were a vote short from impeaching him.
Andrew Johnson had a contentious relationship with the Radical Republicans during his presidency. They opposed his lenient approach to Reconstruction and his efforts to restore the Southern states without significant protections for freed slaves. Johnson’s frequent vetoes of their legislation, particularly civil rights protections, led to a deepening conflict, ultimately resulting in his impeachment by the House of Representatives in 1868, though he was acquitted by the Senate. The Radical Republicans sought to impose a more stringent Reconstruction policy, which directly clashed with Johnson's views.

I think you are referring to Andrew Johnson. Jackson was president much earlier. As far as Johnson goes, he was a weak president and he allowed Radical Republicans in congress to shape much of his reconstruction policy.
Senator Charles Sumner from Massachusetts lead the Radical Republicans, and spearheaded the effort to remove President Andrew Johnson from office.
