Best Answer

Upon Lincolnâ??s assassination, Vice President Andrew Johnson became president. A man with southern allegiance and no love for the former slaves, Johnson immediately stopped penalizing the south for their rebellion. Hundreds of former Confederate officers were granted pardons, property was returned to southern plantation owners and he rendered the Freedmen's Bureau powerless. Furthermore, in 1865, he declared Reconstruction was now over.
