Lincoln had struggled with the moral and political implications of ending slavery. Until his promulgation of the Emancipation Proclamation, he had been circumspect about the process in the South. With his assassination, Congress and others pushed through their own agenda regardless of the effect on the society and commerce of the South. Lincoln's successor, Andrew Johnson, was impeached over his opposition to radical Reconstruction. He, like Lincoln, favored a limited occupation of the South and gradual adoption of legislative reforms concerning the freed slaves.
