President Andrew Johnson's plan after the Civil War, known as Presidential Reconstruction, aimed to restore the Southern states to the Union quickly and with minimal requirements. He offered amnesty to most Confederates who took an oath of loyalty and allowed Southern states to re-establish their governments, provided they abolished slavery. However, his lenient approach faced opposition from Congress, leading to conflicts over civil rights and the protection of freedmen. Ultimately, his plan was seen as too accommodating toward the South and failed to address the deeper issues of racial equality and justice.
