President Andrew Johnson did not support the Civil Rights Act of 1866 primarily because he held a more lenient view toward the Southern states following the Civil War and sought to restore their political power quickly. He believed that the federal government should not intervene in state matters regarding civil rights. Additionally, Johnson's sympathy for Southern interests and his opposition to the Radical Republicans in Congress led him to veto the bill, although Congress later overrode his veto to enact it.
