During the period of Reconstruction in the United States, which followed the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln initially led the efforts until his assassination in April 1865. He was succeeded by Andrew Johnson, who continued the Reconstruction policies, albeit with significant challenges and opposition. Johnson's presidency faced criticism for his leniency towards the Southern states and conflicts with Congress over the direction of Reconstruction.
President Lincoln actually thought he should be responsible for reconstruction. President Lincoln did this because people left the union so the president could pardon them back in.
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.
