Question

question 3 of 10
what was part of president johnsons plan for reconstruction?
a. pardons for confederate leaders
b. pardons for carpetbaggers
c. voting rights for freedmen
d. land for freedmen

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: President Andrew Johnson's Reconstruction plan included pardons for most Confederate leaders (except for certain high - ranking or wealthy ones, but generally, pardons for Confederate leaders were part of his plan).
• Option B: Carpetbaggers were Northerners who moved to the South after the Civil War. Johnson's plan was focused on the South and Confederate - related issues, and pardoning carpetbaggers was not part of his Reconstruction plan.
• Option C: Johnson was against giving voting rights to freedmen (African - American freed slaves). He believed that voting rights should be determined by the Southern states, and his plan did not include this.
• Option D: Johnson's plan did not include providing land for freedmen. The idea of "40 acres and a mule" was more associated with earlier wartime policies and not Johnson's Reconstruction plan.

Answer:

A. Pardons for Confederate leaders
