Presidential Reconstruction

Question 6 • GA-GSE Grade 8 Georgia Studies

Which best describes President Johnson’s influence during Reconstruction?

Answer
A
He had influence among Republicans but not Democrats.
B
He had influence in the House but not the Senate.
C
He was much more influential than his predecessor.
D
He did not have the political support that Lincoln had.

Explanation

Johnson lacked the broad political support Abraham Lincoln had. His opposition to many congressional Reconstruction policies led Republicans in Congress to challenge him, and he was even impeached by the House. This makes “He did not have the political support that Lincoln had” the best description.
