What was president Andrew Johnson plan for the south?

President Andrew Johnson's plan for the South, known as Presidential Reconstruction, aimed to quickly reintegrate the Southern states into the Union following the Civil War. His approach included granting amnesty to most former Confederates and allowing Southern states to establish new governments with minimal federal intervention, as long as they renounced secession and accepted the abolition of slavery. However, his leniency faced significant opposition from Congress, leading to conflicts over the direction of Reconstruction. Ultimately, his policies contributed to the rise of Black Codes and other restrictive measures in the South.
