The correct response is: Republicans disagreed with President Johnson's Reconstruction Plan.
After Lincoln's assassination, President Andrew Johnson proposed a lenient plan for Reconstruction that many Republicans in Congress, particularly the Radical Republicans, found too lenient and not sufficiently protective of the rights of freed slaves and the southern political situation. This disagreement led to significant conflict between Johnson and Congress.
