Many Radical Republicans in Congress strongly opposed President Andrew Johnson's Reconstruction plan. They believed it was too lenient toward the Southern states and failed to protect the rights of newly freed African Americans. This opposition ultimately led to a significant political clash between Johnson and Congress, culminating in his impeachment in 1868.

Northerners disliked Johnson's Reconstruction plan primarily because it was seen as too lenient towards the South, allowing former Confederate leaders to regain power and influence without sufficient protections for newly freed African Americans. Johnson's approach did not include strong measures to guarantee civil rights or suffrage for Black citizens, which many in the North viewed as essential for a just and equitable rebuilding of the nation. Additionally, his frequent vetoes of legislation aimed at protecting these rights further alienated many Northerners who were advocating for a more rigorous and inclusive Reconstruction effort.

The South welcomed Andrew Johnson's reconstruction plan because it neglected the rights of former slaves more or less, and he granted over 1,000 pardons to former Confederate leaders during his time in office.
