The South accepted President Andrew Johnson's Reconstruction plan largely because it offered leniency and a swift path to rejoining the Union after the Civil War. Johnson's approach allowed Southern states to regain their governments with minimal requirements, such as the ratification of the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery. This leniency appealed to many Southern leaders who sought to restore their political power and economic systems quickly. Additionally, Johnson's sympathy towards the South and his opposition to more stringent measures from Congress made his plan more palatable to Southern interests.

To regain control of southern politics
The Amnesty Act of 1872 restored voting rights and political eligibility to most former Confederates in the South. This led to the reintegration of former Confederates into Southern politics and allowed them to regain political influence. As a result, Democrats, who largely represented white Southerners, gained power in the region, leading to the end of Reconstruction and the establishment of white supremacy in Southern politics.
