∙ 14y agoJohnson was president, and also a southern sympathizer. Most of the people is Congress at the time were radical Democrats, so they completely against southerners and wanted them punished. Johnson, knowing he had to keep Congress happy if he wanted to keep his job as president, stated that any southerner found would be charged with treason, and punished as seen fit. Congress was very happy with this statement and immediately found southerners to charge with treason. Johnson pardoned 90% of the southerners brought to him. (Presidential pardons wipe away all transgressions a person pay have against the country). Congress was unhappy with Johnson. So to answer the question, 90% of southerners were charged and then pardoned during the reconstruction.
