Answer:

Andrew Johnson

Step-by-step explanation:

For Andrew Johnson the southern states had not left the Union. Their rights, he thought, should be restored, with amnesty for all (except a few Confederates). It was his idea of a reconstruction plan that would have allowed amnesty white southerners to vote on new state constitutions. This is because he preferred to adopt a mild version of Reconstruction in the south, embracing the southern focus of “state rights” and the thesis that blacks were inferior.
