President Lincoln never had the time to put together a plan for reconstruction for the South. His assassination aborted any chance of that however all indications were that he would be lenient in areas that made sense.

The newly sworn in President Johnson also for his time had a more liberal approach to the Reconstruction problem than the radical republicans in congress.
