Johnson's plan, also known as the "Presidential Reconstruction," required Southern states to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment and repudiate Confederate war debts. Johnson also pardoned many former Confederates and allowed them to hold public office again. However, Johnson did not require the recognition of civil and political rights for blacks, which led to conflicts with Congress over the direction of Reconstruction.
