Lincoln was killed before the plan could be put into effect and his successor, Andrew Johnson had no influence over Congress. Leaders in Congress wanted to punish the South for rebelling rather than follow Lincoln's plan.
The 10 Percent Plan.
The northens wanted to put the Southerners problem behind them and turn to their own affairs.

Lincoln was killed just as the war ended. The people who ran the country after he died were not as forgiving or as fair-minded as Lincoln. They treated the South as a vanquished enemy and wanted to punish the Southerners for rebelling.
The Radical Republicans put the South under the control of the US Army to enforce the new laws. The civilian state governments that were partial to President Johnson, Democrats, and former Confederates were removed.
The people during the Reconstruction were the Northerners, Southerners, and politicians. Abraham Lincoln was one of the presidents that wanted the North & South to put aside their differences.

Put them in conflict with President Johnson :)))
Abraham Lincoln hoped to accomplish the reconstruction by making all of the southern states agree to every proclamation and every Congressional act put forth. Andrew Johnson modified this plan by not making all of the states comply to this rule.
Reconstruction didn't work after the civil war because the goal of reconstruction was to reintroduce the south back into the union as quickly as possible. There would be no real victory from the war unless the country was put back together. After the south was defeated in 1865 the reconstruction act of 1867 was set into place. Although slaves were freed the south established Black codes that treated the Blacks as slaves but weren't considered slaves. It set limitations on them so it kept them at the bottom of the food chain. Reconstruction ended in 1877 because the military pulled out of the south. The north got tired of spending so much money on the Reconstruction when little was being achieved. Ultimately reconstruction did work just not at the time that the north wanted it to work.
President Lincoln never had the time to put together a plan for reconstruction for the South. His assassination aborted any chance of that however all indications were that he would be lenient in areas that made sense. The newly sworn in President Johnson also for his time had a more liberal approach to the Reconstruction problem than the radical republicans in congress.
It was a consspiracy because others knew of the plan before it was put into effect.
