Answer 1

President Johnson's Reconstruction plan aimed for a quick restoration of the Southern states with lenient terms, allowing many former Confederate leaders to regain power. In contrast, the Radical Republicans sought to impose stricter measures, including ensuring civil rights for freed slaves and requiring new state constitutions that guaranteed these rights. Additionally, Radical Republicans advocated for military enforcement of Reconstruction policies, while Johnson favored a more conciliatory approach toward the South.
