becausee they wanted to have freedom of their own
Lincoln's plan for Reconstruction was characterized by a lenient approach aimed at quickly reintegrating the Southern states into the Union. He proposed the Ten Percent Plan, which allowed a Southern state to rejoin the Union once 10% of its voters swore allegiance to the Union. This contrasted with the more stringent measures taken by Congress, which sought to impose harsher conditions and protections for freed slaves. Lincoln's emphasis on reconciliation and healing differed significantly from the Radical Republicans' focus on civil rights and punishment for the South.
The federal governments plan to reform the South was by reconstruction. This was an attempt to rebuild and better the South.
The Radical Republicans opposed President Lincoln's plan for Reconstruction because they believed it was too lenient towards the South and did not do enough to protect the rights of newly freed African Americans. They sought a more stringent approach that would impose harsher penalties on Southern states and ensure civil rights and political participation for former slaves. Additionally, they were concerned that Lincoln's plan would allow former Confederates to regain power and influence in the post-war government. Their vision aimed for a more transformative reconstruction that would fundamentally change Southern society.
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.
