Under President Andrew Johnson's plan for Reconstruction, a Southern state was required to draft a new state constitution that abolished slavery and to ratify the 13th Amendment.

Johnson's approach was relatively lenient, aimed at quickly restoring the Southern states without significant changes to their societal structures.

Andrew Johnson's veto of the Civil Rights Bill of 1855 weakened his effort for a lenient reconstruction policy. The Republicans found enough votes to overturn Johnson's veto, and drafted the Fourteenth Amendment. The Amendment, which was ratified, required southern states to ratify it if they wanted to reenter the union. The bill gave equal rights to blacks, and the southerners were forced to ratify.
