B) Republicans disagreed with President Johnson's Reconstruction Plan.
After Lincoln's assassination, President Andrew Johnson proposed a lenient Reconstruction Plan that was not in line with the more stringent approach favored by many Republicans in Congress, particularly the Radical Republicans. This led to significant conflict between Johnson and Congress, as many lawmakers believed that Johnson's plan did not adequately address the needs of the newly freed African Americans and did not effectively rebuild the Southern states. The divide between Johnson and the Republican majority in Congress ultimately contributed to tensions and conflicts that characterized the Reconstruction era.
