Answer:
Johnson rejected many of the goals of Reconstruction by vetoing bills that would increase the rights of the former slaves.
Explanation:
Andrew Johnson entered presidency upon the death of the abolitionist Abraham Lincoln in 1865. As Lincoln's former Vice President, Johnson was expected to make policies similar to Lincoln's and achieve the goals of Reconstruction. However, once Johnson was in office, he took a different approach to the situation: he failed to make policies that protected the right of newly freed slaves and that kept them safe after the Civil War and failed to regulate the Southern States. Instead, Johnson granted thousands of pardons to white Southerners, wealthy planters and Confederate leaders and allowed some of them to return to power and to have their property back.
