Lincoln's assassination in April 1865 significantly altered the course of Reconstruction by shifting power to more radical factions within the Republican Party. His successor, Andrew Johnson, lacked Lincoln's vision for a more lenient approach to reintegration of the Southern states and instead pursued a more conciliatory policy that faced strong opposition. This shift led to increased tensions between Congress and the presidency, culminating in the impeachment of Johnson and the establishment of harsher measures for Southern reconstruction, ultimately prolonging the process and intensifying racial and political conflicts.
