Answer 1

The correct response is: Republicans disagreed with President Johnson's Reconstruction Plan.

After Lincoln's assassination, President Andrew Johnson's approach to Reconstruction was met with significant opposition from the Republican-majority Congress. Johnson's lenient policies towards the Southern states and his reluctance to guarantee civil rights for freed slaves conflicted with the more radical views of many Republicans who sought a stricter approach to Reconstruction. This disagreement led to a significant conflict between Johnson and Congress.
