Answer 2

O many in the North felt the South should be punished more harshly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Many in the North felt that the South should be punished more harshly but this will not be good for the Reconstruction process. President Johnson's reconstruction plan is to normalize the life in the south so for that reason most Southerners would be granted a full pardon, excepting high-ranking Confederate army officers and government officials. This plan would increase the speed of reconstruction process in the south. Congress felt that Lincoln's measures would maintain and normalize life in the South as it had before the war.
