• were too focused on helping the freed African slaves, but not on helping the poor, white farmers.
• were too strict to allow the Union to ever be reunited as it was prior to the Civil War.
• were too lenient on the Southern states that had rebelled against the Union.
• were created too quickly without consulting the former leaders of the Confederate states.

Who favored harsher punishment on the Reconstruction plans?

• Abraham Lincoln
• Andrew Johnson
• Congress
