Conflict erupted between President Johnson and Congress after Lincoln's assassination primarily because Republicans disagreed with President Johnson's Reconstruction Plan. Johnson's approach was seen as too lenient towards the South and did not adequately protect the rights of freed African Americans, which clashed with the more radical Republican vision for Reconstruction that sought to impose stricter measures and ensure civil rights.
