Why did Congress refuse to seat the delegates elected under Johnson's Reconstruction Plan?
Congress refused to seat the delegates elected under Johnson's Reconstruction Plan because they believed that it did not provide sufficient protections for the civil rights of African Americans. They also disagreed with Johnson's lenient approach towards secessionist Southern states and wanted to exert greater control over the Reconstruction process.
What did president Johnson's plan for reconstruction?
Johnson's Reconstruction "Carrying Out Lincoln's Plan" April 15, 1865 - March 4, 1869 President Abraham Lincoln and the Radicals in the Republican Party had clashed bitterly about reconstruction policies long before the assassination thrust Vice President Andrew Johnson, a Democrat, into the fray. "Mr. Johnson, I thank God that you are here", said Radical Republican Sen. Ben Wade. "Lincoln had too much of the milk of human kindness to deal with these damn rebels. Now they will be dealt with according to their deserts." Believing he was basically carrying on Lincoln's plans for reconstruction, Johnson, by a May 29, 1865, presidential proclamation, granted amnesty and pardon to all persons who directly or indirectly participated in the "rebellion", with a wide range of exceptions. Excepted persons included people with taxable property worth more than $20,000, civil and diplomatic officials, officers above the rank of colonel, anyone who left the U.S. military to fight for the Confederacy, anyone educated in the U.S. military academies, anyone who left homes in the North to go South, and many others. However, Johnson proclaimed, these excepted persons could apply to him personally and "such clemency will be liberally extended as may be consistent with the facts of the case and the peace and dignity of the United States". A loyalty oath that "henceforth" all such persons would support the Constitution and abide by the laws was required of all. Property rights, with certain exclusions- notably slaves- were restored and a policy of re-establishing state governments and adopting new state constitutions that incorporated the 13th amendment was set forth. The Radicals were furious. Surely there were Southerners who must hang. What about freed slaves? They should be enfranchised, and the property of the whites should be divided amongst them. Would these states be represented in Congress by the same people that had led them in rebellion? Radical Republican Thaddeus Stevens asked his colleagues if there was "no way to arrest the insane course of the President."

Did President Johnson vetoed Reconstruction Acts hindered the work of the Freedman's Bureau and undermined congressional Reconstruction efforts in many other ways?
Well ... sorta. It's actually more complicated than that.One thing to understand is that Johnson was unreservedly for bringing the confederate states back into the union (in fact, he took the position that they'd never actually left it, and should be re-recognized as states as soon as loyal citizens there could form a legitimate government). He regarded the entire question of sufferage for former slaves as at best a delay and a distraction in this process, and he was at least somewhat opposed to it on the grounds that freedmen, many of whom still had strong economic ties to their former masters, might be induced to vote at the direction of those former masters.So all the things you say in the question are true, but they weren't necessarily done with malice (in fairness to Johnson, Reconstruction really was a pretty ugly time for many southerners and a lot of the Reconstruction Acts themselves bordered on being malicious). The typical view of early 20th century historians was that Johnson (including Woodrow Wilson) was dealt a bad hand and was trying in good faith to follow Lincoln's own lead in terms of Reconstruction policies as best he could. Modern historians mostly disagree and cast him in a considerably less favorable light.

How did Lincoln want to handle reconstruction?
Lincoln wanted the entire United States back into one piece as soon as possible. He wanted to quickly and "painlessly" finish the reconstruction of the South. That is the reason why he proposed the 10% Plan and other various plans that the Radical Republicans didn't like--------------------------- Lincoln's reconstruction plan strove to readmit the Confederate states into the Union as quickly and easily as possible following the US Civil War. His plan, known as the 10 Percent Plan, involved promoting the loyalty of the southern states and pardoning as many individuals as possible. Lincoln's plan continued after his death but was reversed in 1866 after the Radical Republicans gained control of Congress. It was important to Lincoln that the process of Reconstruction take place with haste. He did not want to create a feeling of animosity or to harshly punish the Southern states but wanted them to re-enter the Union without delay. Lincoln's Reconstruction plan did not involve any strict punishment of former Confederates. He decided that anyone who took an oath of loyalty and agreed to follow the new rules regarding slavery would be pardoned for their actions during the war. One of the main points of Lincoln's Reconstruction plan involved obtaining an oath of loyalty from many former Confederates. He expected the oath to be signed by 10 percent of the individuals who voted in the 1860 election that had been held right before the war began. It was because of this point that Lincoln's plan was entitled the "10 Percent Plan." Many in congress thought this strategy was not stringent enough and wanted harsher punishment for the Confederacy.

How did the radical republicans feel about Lincoln's Reconstruction plan?
Abraham Lincoln's ultimate goal during the Civil War was to reunite the country. He felt that if the country was against itself, it would eventually crumble. He wanted Reconstruction, or the re-building of the country, to be as easy as possible (without slavery and with peace).The radical Republicans in Congress at that time wanted to punish the South at all costs; they had been traitors, and the Republicans felt that if they wanted to be readmitted into the Union, they needed to beg on hands and knees. Lincoln saw this, and it caused an abundance of tension and hostility towards the North. He wanted a very lenient Reconstruction process so that the Southerners would be more willing to compromise, and actually want to be readmitted. He thought that this way, the country would be able to rebuild more peacefully and successfully. Otherwise, the South would still harbor the same resentment they had before the war, and the country, in effect, wouldn't have solved its problems, and the war would have been for nothing.
