President Johnson's Reconstruction Plan was seen as too lenient towards the Southern states and did not do enough to protect the rights of newly freed African Americans. Republicans in Congress wanted a more aggressive approach to Reconstruction, which led to conflict between President Johnson and the Republican-controlled Congress. This ultimately resulted in Johnson's impeachment in 1868.
