Answer:

C. Johnson rejected many of the goals of Reconstruction by vetoing bills that would increase the rights of the former slaves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Andrew Johnson turned into the seventeenth president of the United States upon the death of President Abraham Lincoln in April 1865.

His tolerant Reconstruction arrangements toward the South, and his vetoing of Reconstruction acts disillusioned the Radical Republicans in Congress and prompted his political downfall and impeachment, however he was absolved.
