The most accurate response to your question is:
Republicans disagreed with President Johnson's Reconstruction Plan.
After Lincoln's assassination, President Andrew Johnson proposed a lenient Reconstruction plan that many congressional Republicans believed was too forgiving towards the Southern states and did not adequately protect the rights of freedmen. This disagreement contributed to the conflict between Johnson and Congress.
