1. **Leniency vs. Harshness**: President Johnson's plan was more lenient towards the South, aiming for quick reintegration of Southern states with minimal requirements. In contrast, the Radical Republicans sought harsher measures, emphasizing civil rights for freed slaves and stricter conditions for Southern reentry.

2. **Civil Rights Focus**: Johnson's approach largely ignored the need for protecting the rights of former enslaved people, while the Radical Republicans prioritized civil rights legislation and the protection of African American citizenship and voting rights.
