choose the correct answer
during his administration, president johnson was
sympathetic towards the __________.
western states
southern states

President Andrew Johnson, during Reconstruction after the Civil War, was sympathetic to the Southern states. His policies aimed at a lenient readmission of Southern states, which clashed with Radical Republicans in Congress who wanted harsher measures for the South's reintegration. The Western and Northern states (especially the Radical Republican - leaning North) were not his focus of sympathy; his stance was more aligned with the South's interests in regaining power with limited changes to the pre - war social order (like regarding slavery's aftermath and white Southern political control).
