1. Briefly explain how Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, and the Radical Republicans envisioned Reconstruction. Be sure to share how each planned to deal with the question of citizenship for former Confederates and newly freed slaves.
Abraham Lincoln- Lincoln’s plan was to reunify the north and south as soon as possible after the end of the civil war. He wanted it to be a short process so that the United states could exist as it did before. Although he emancipated the slaves and believed in their freedom, He did not feel that they deserved to be citizens.
Andrew Johnson- Did not support the reconstruction of the south. He wanted to restore power to the south. He granted pardons to nearly all white southerners. He did not want the confederates
