Presidential and Radical Reconstruction

Question 10 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 1

Which of the following best describes Johnson’s position on Reconstruction?

Answer
A
Nonsupportive: he vetoed twenty reconstruction bills.
B
Supportive: he worked closely with Congress to write the Reconstruction Act of 1867.
C
Neutral: he was most concerned with rebuilding the nation’s economy.

Explanation

Johnson opposed Congress’s approach to Reconstruction and repeatedly vetoed measures intended to protect formerly enslaved people and reshape the Southern states. Congress overrode several of his vetoes. So “Nonsupportive” is the best description; the choice’s specific claim that he vetoed twenty Reconstruction bills is not a precise summary of the historical record.
