The correct response is:

Republicans disagreed with President Johnson's Reconstruction Plan.

After Lincoln's assassination, President Andrew Johnson's approach to Reconstruction did not align with the more radical elements of the Republican Party in Congress who sought stricter measures for rebuilding the South and protecting the rights of freed slaves. This disagreement led to significant conflict between the President and Congress.
