Their plan for the South was punitive and harsh, as they expected total loyalty from any state wishing to rejoin the Union.
Knowing this, the Radical Republicans in Congress passed their own laws, overrode Johnson\'s vetoes, and eventually impeached him.
Johnson wanted to make things easier for his fellow Democrats in the South.
His assassination left the Reconstruction efforts in the hands of Andrew Johnson, a Democrat.
However, his plan never came to fruition.
Unlike other Republicans at the time, he did not think of these states as ever having left the Union.
President Abraham Lincoln favored a less punitive plan for reinstating the Confederate states back into the Union.
In addition, the country had to figure out how to recover from the war, which devastated the South and took many lives on both sides.
The nation not only had to figure out how to become united once again, but it also had to figure out how to integrate the newly freed slaves into society.
