Johnson, like Lincoln, held that the southern states had never legally left the Union, and he retained most of Lincoln's 10 percent plan. Johnson's plan went further than Lincoln's and excluded those Confederates who owned taxable property in excess of $20,000 from the pardon. These wealthy Southerners were the ones Johnson believed led the South into secession. However, these Confederates were allowed to petition him for personal pardons. Before the year was over, Johnson, who seemed to savor power over the aristocrats who begged for his favor, had issued some 13,000 such pardons. These pardons allowed many of the planter aristocrats the power to exercise control over Reconstruction of their states. Johnson also called for special state conventions to repeal the ordinances of secession, abolish slavery, repudiate all debts incurred to aid the Confederacy, and ratify the Thirteenth Amendment.

Identify the president who supported the plan of Radical Reconstruction?

President Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Abraham Lincoln, initially supported a lenient approach to Reconstruction but faced opposition from Radical Republicans in Congress. The Radical Reconstruction plan, which aimed to impose stricter measures on the Southern states and ensure civil rights for freed slaves, was largely driven by Congress rather than Johnson himself. Ultimately, his resistance to the Radical Reconstruction efforts led to his impeachment in 1868.
