How did Lincoln’s assassination change the nature of Southern Reconstruction?

Plans to pardon former Confederates were abandoned in favor of incarcerating former slave owners.

Johnson’s Reconstruction plan made it more difficult for Southern states to reenter the Union.

Lincoln’s Ten Percent plan to reintegrate Southern states into the Union was nullified.

The Radical Republicans viewed Lincoln’s assassination as an opportunity to reject his plan.

D?

The correct answer is "Lincoln’s Ten Percent plan to reintegrate Southern states into the Union was nullified."

Yes, D is the correct answer. The Radical Republicans viewed Lincoln's assassination as an opportunity to reject his plan. After Lincoln's assassination, the Radical Republicans gained more influence in Congress and pushed for a more punitive approach to Reconstruction, which included measures such as the complete abolition of slavery and granting voting rights to African Americans. This shift in the nature of Reconstruction had a significant impact on the post-Civil War era in the South.

Yes, D is the correct answer. The assassination of Abraham Lincoln had a significant impact on the nature of Southern Reconstruction. Lincoln's assassination provided an opportunity for the Radical Republicans to reject his more lenient approach to Reconstruction and pursue a more aggressive approach. They now saw an opportunity to reshape the southern states and implement their own vision for the future.

I believe it may have been a harder reconstruction because Lincoln wanted the states to go without punishment, and wanted them to re-merge with the union quickly, but someone else may have wanted to punish them.
