Respond to the following discussion:
The way that Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson Plan for Reconstruction differ because they both were members of congress and they both had different ideas about how Reconstruction should be handled. They all basically agreed to disagree. Lincoln created the Lincoln’s Ten Percent Plan, Radicals passed the Wade-Davis Bill, Johnson had a plan for reconstruction which was the Presidential Reconstruction. I would support the radicals plan because they wanted the best towards the slaves and wanted better for the reconstruction and Lincoln and Johnson wanted to reunite the south and the north and when Johnson claimed that reconstruction was complete, many believed that the southern states didn’t really change as much as it was before. Lincoln wanted an agreeable Reconstruction Plan. In 1863 he clarified his proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction which was known as the Ten percent plan. Andrew Johnson had continued Lincoln policies. Johnson announced his own plan to reconstruct the seven remaining Confederate states. This plan was called the Presidential Reconstruction. He clarified that most of the southern states could be readmitted to the union if they could meet few of the conditions (dreaming411.blogspot, 2007).
Radical Republicans didn’t agree with Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson plan for Reconstruction because they believed blacks were entitled to the same political rights and opportunities as whites. They also believed that the Confederate leaders should be punished for their roles in the Civil War. Leaders like Pennsylvania Representative Thaddeus Stevens and Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner vigorously opposed Andrew Johnson’s lenient policies (Ushistory.org, 2016).
Andrew Johnson was a Democrat elected to his office by Republicans. The president hoped to construct a new political coalition, composed of Northern Democrats and conservative Republicans plus Southern Unionists. Excluded from this coalition would be radical Republicans on one extreme and traitors on the other. The purse-proud aristocrats and traitors had forced their way into the coalition and were elbowing aside the genuine Unionists, with Johnson’s apparent blessing. Nine Southern states called on the president to express their sincere respect for his desire and intention to sustain Southern rights in the Union (McPherson & Hogue, 2010).
