Question

what role did president andrew johnson have during reconstruction? a president johnson ignored both plans for reconstruction and created his own plan. b president johnson continued the work of abraham lincoln and enacted his reconstruction plan. c president johnson rewrote the presidential reconstruction plan to restore slavery in the united states. d president johnson worked with the u.s. congress to make readmission into the union a very difficult process for the south.

Explanation:

• Option A: Johnson didn't ignore both plans to create his own; he had his own plan but also interacted with others, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: After Lincoln's assassination, Johnson continued Lincoln's Reconstruction work and enacted his own plan (Presidential Reconstruction) which was lenient toward the South, so B is correct.
• Option C: Johnson did not aim to restore slavery; the 13th Amendment abolished it, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: Johnson was at odds with Congress (especially Radical Republicans) and his plan was lenient, not making readmission difficult, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. President Johnson continued the work of Abraham Lincoln and enacted his Reconstruction plan.
