As a Southern Democrat, Andrew Johnson wanted all of the following except: '
<span>
a. the quick return of former Confederate states to the Union.' Since he already told us that he doesn't want that.</span>
Basically, before 1973, the president had more power over the military and had more freedom to command the military as the president wished. This was seen in Vietnam which turned out to be a disaster. It was decided to limit the president's military power, and he would need the consent of congress to whatever operation he planned to do.
summary: limit president's military power
1. No single government over a large area
<span>2. left an unprotected citizenry </span>
<span>3. ended public works - road building, fortifications, bridge building and repairs to them </span>
