Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

While the goal between Lincoln and Johnson was similar, republicans in congress wanted to make sure that former slaves were treated equally and Johnson was willing to go along with laws that were less far reaching and that would not allow all blacks to enjoy the same freedoms of their white brothers.
