Lincolns plan- Was an easy way to let the south in.
-only 10% of state's citizens had to pledge allegiance to get the country back together quickly. - Lincoln got assassinated, so plan didn't go into effect. |
Johnson's Plan
Johnson's plan was just like Lincolns plan, but he wanted to embarrass the Southerners Elite.
-Johnson always hated the Southern Elite , even though he was southern.. He wanted them to personally ask forgiveness. -Johnson wasn't very kind to freedmen, and didn't like the Freedman's Bureau or giving freedmen rights. - The Republicans in congress are going to try to impeach him. |
