President Andrew Johnson tried to enact Lincoln's more lenient Reconstruction plan, but the Republican Congress was determined to prevent the South from returning to its old ways. When Johnson fired his Secretary of War over disagreements, it led to his impeachment, and he narrowly retained the Presidency. "Radical Reconstruction" was soon underway, with military governors taking control of the states of the former Confederacy.
