Explanation

Johnson’s Reconstruction plan allowed Southern states to form new governments with few requirements, and many former Confederate leaders regained political power. Those governments passed laws, including Black Codes, that restricted African Americans’ rights, and violence against African Americans increased. Lincoln’s assassination happened before Johnson’s plan was implemented, and the plan did not generally cause Southerners to lose their homes to African Americans.
