The correct response is: Republicans disagreed with President Johnson's Reconstruction Plan.
After Lincoln's assassination, President Andrew Johnson's approach to Reconstruction was seen as too lenient towards the South, leading to significant conflict with the Republican-controlled Congress, which aimed for a more stringent approach to reconstructing the South and securing civil rights for freed slaves.
