Why was Johnson's reconstruction plan likely to provoke problems with congress?
Johnson granted pardon's to people who took an oath of loyalty, No pardons would be available to high Confederate officials and persons owning property valued in excess of $20,000. Not only that but he felt a state need to abolish slavery before it could be readmitted. He also was not a great people person. A clash between Johnson and congress was inevitable at this point. But eventually congress brewed up a plan(pardon the term) Congress passed the civil right bill in 1866, when President Johnson vetoed a bill to extend the life of the Freedmen's Bureau. Congress wanted to amend it to include protection for the black population. So as you can see congress didn"t really have a plan for reconstruction so they differ very extremely. sorry for any falsifications i may have made it been a while
