What happened under president jhonsons plan for reconstruction?

Under President Andrew Johnson's plan for Reconstruction, which followed the Civil War, Southern states were allowed to rejoin the Union with relatively lenient terms. Johnson's approach emphasized quick restoration, requiring only the ratification of the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery and the renunciation of secession. However, his plan faced significant opposition from Congress, particularly from Radical Republicans who sought more stringent requirements and protections for newly freed African Americans. This tension ultimately led to a power struggle between Johnson and Congress, culminating in his impeachment in 1868.
