Lincoln's blueprint for Reconstruction included the Ten-Percent Plan,which specified that a southern state could be readmitted into the Union once 10 percent of its voters (from the voter rolls for the election of 1860) swore an oath of allegiance to the Union.

The critics thought that Lincoln's plan was not good.

In 1865 President Andrew Johnson implemented a plan of Reconstruction that gave the white South a free hand in regulating the transition from slavery to freedom and offered no role to blacks in the politics of the South.

Johnson's plan was different because of his political beliefs. He believed that colored people should not be able to do anything. He believed in slavery of any minorities. That is why his plan was different from Lincoln's plan.

Lincoln's plan would help a lot of the black residents in the U.S (all of them in the north and south) but Johnson's plan would help mostly wealthy whites, but also some poorer whites. Johnson's plan would not help colored people at all.
