Much of Lincoln's plan for Reconstruction came from a group of Congressmen from his own party.

Who were the Radical Republicans and why did they fail to accomplish their goals?
The radical wing of the Republican Party were termed as such because of their insistence that slavery be abolished without regard to what the consequences might be. They were in fact abolitionists. Moderate Republicans and moderate Democrats understood that an immediate end to slavery might have unpleasant social and economic consequences. During the US Civil War they demanded that the war was fought to end slavery. Moderates sought to unify the Union first and deal with slavery later.
How did Andrew Johnson get along with the radical republicans?
Andrew Johnson had a contentious relationship with the Radical Republicans during his presidency. They opposed his lenient approach to Reconstruction and his efforts to restore the Southern states without significant protections for freed slaves. Johnson’s frequent vetoes of their legislation, particularly civil rights protections, led to a deepening conflict, ultimately resulting in his impeachment by the House of Representatives in 1868, though he was acquitted by the Senate. The Radical Republicans sought to impose a more stringent Reconstruction policy, which directly clashed with Johnson's views.
