Answer 1

The false statement is that Andrew Johnson wanted to require the former Confederate states to ratify the 13th and 14th Amendments to rejoin the Union; he did not mandate the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment during his version of Reconstruction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is not true of Presidential Reconstruction under Andrew Johnson is: that Johnson wanted to require the former Confederate states to ratify the 13th and 14th Amendments to rejoin the Union. While it is true that provisional southern governments were supposed to void their ordinances of secession, repudiate Confederate debts, and ratify the Thirteenth Amendment, Johnson did not mandate the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment during his version of Reconstruction. Based on his belief that African Americans did not deserve rights, Johnson opposed the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment and even vetoed the Civil Rights Act.

Johnson's Reconstruction policies included appointing provisional governors and calling for states to create new constitutions. However, his policies and leniency toward the South led to the enactment of Black Codes that codified white supremacy. Radical Republicans in Congress strongly disagreed with Johnson's approaches, leading to their control of the House of Representatives after the 1866 midterm elections and the implementation of their vision of Reconstruction with harsher conditions and broader civil rights for freedmen.
