Why did congress still refuse to readmit southern states into the union in 1865?

Congress refused to readmit Southern states into the Union in 1865 primarily due to concerns over their commitment to the principles of the Union and the future of civil rights for freed slaves. Many lawmakers, particularly Radical Republicans, believed that the Reconstruction policies implemented by President Andrew Johnson were too lenient and did not adequately address the needs for political and social reform in the South. They sought to ensure that newly freed African Americans would have protections and rights, leading to a push for more stringent requirements for readmission. This political tension ultimately delayed the reintegration of Southern states.
