The president who supported the plan of Radical Reconstruction was Andrew Johnson. After Abraham Lincoln's assassination, Johnson, who became president in 1865, initially favored a lenient approach to Reconstruction, but he faced significant opposition from Radical Republicans in Congress who sought more stringent measures to ensure civil rights and a complete reorganization of Southern society. Ultimately, Johnson's resistance to their policies led to his impeachment.

When President Andrew Johnson vetoed radical reconstruction laws, Congress responded by overriding his vetoes, leading to the implementation of more stringent measures for the Reconstruction of the South. This included the establishment of military districts and the requirement for Southern states to adopt new constitutions guaranteeing civil rights for freed slaves. Johnson's defiance intensified the conflict between the presidency and Congress, ultimately contributing to his impeachment in 1868. The radical Republicans gained greater control over Reconstruction efforts, reshaping the political landscape of the post-Civil War era.
