Why were republicans pleased when Johnson became president?

At first, the Republicans were pleased because Johnson stated he wanted to deal harshly with leaders of the Confederacy, calling for the hanging of its President, Jefferson Davis, and other high officials, for treason. They became less pleased when newly instated President Johnson took a soft approach toward the states, and advocated leniency and reconciliation with the states and its citizens, who had been "mislead and deceived." Despite his brash talk, Johnson pardoned many Confederate leaders, making him forever the mortal enemy of the (Radical) Republicans in Congress.

What are five aspects and motivation behind the congressional reconstruction plan?

First of all, Republicans wanted revenge. 1. Military districts were set up in the former Confederate States. 2. Full compliance with the Emancipation Proclamation was mandated. 3. Full compliance with the Fourteen Amendment was required for the resumption of citizenship. Next, they wanted the freed slaves to be protected against retaliation. 4. The Freedman's Bureau was established to provide education, healthcare, and legal assistance. The Republicans wanted to remain in power in both the North, as well as the South. 5. The Fifteenth Amendment was passed, granting suffrage to former slaves, who repaid them by voting Republican.
