President Johnson was president in the 1960s. He was not even born yet at the time of the US Civil War, which happened in the 1860s.
^^ OK WOW.
Whoever wrote this is a complete moron. The person asking the question clearly meant Andrew Johnson, our seventeenth president, who was president from 1865-1869. Let's re-take American History, kiddo's.

The main conflict between Presidents Lincoln and Johnson in Congress over reconstruction was their differing approaches to how the Confederate states should be reintegrated into the Union. Lincoln favored a more lenient approach that aimed to reconcile the southern states, while Johnson preferred a more strict approach that allowed for the quick restoration of southern governments without guaranteeing civil rights for freed slaves. This led to clashes with Congress, which sought to protect the rights of newly freed African Americans.
