Answer 1

The correct answers are the following.

THREE of the parts of President Johnson's reconstruction plan were 1) Almost all Southerners would be pardoned. 2) Southern states had to treat blacks equally. 3) Southerners had to accept the end of slavery.

After the death of US President Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jhonson became the President. He had a plan for Reconstruction.

The plan was created in May 1865 and mainly included the above-mentioned parts.

However, southerners did not follow up with the plan. They created other kinds of southern legislation such as the Jim Crow laws and the black codes that limited the rights of African Americans.
