How did the Republican Congress feel about Andrew Johnson’s political decision in the wake of present Lincoln assassination?

1 answer

The Republican Congress did not support Andrew Johnson's political decisions in the wake of Abraham Lincoln's assassination. At the time, Johnson's leniency towards the Southern states and his willingness to readmit them to the Union without sufficient protection for freed slaves angered many Republicans, who believed that stricter measures were necessary to ensure their rights and prevent future rebellions. This ultimately led to a breakdown in relations between Johnson and Congress and the impeachment proceedings against him in 1868.
