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.
