Best Answer

Johnson wanted to bring the seceded Southern states back into the union as seamlessly as possible much as Lincoln would have wanted. However, many people wanted to treat them like a vanquished enemy and make them pay retribution. Moreover, Johnson was from a slave state, Tennessee, and a outsider with the cabinet he inherited from Lincoln, having been added to the ticket for Lincoln's second term and so had almost no help from what should have been his support staff.
