Bernard Chan · Answer 1

If im right ... I think it's A

Explanation:

Johnson's plan was similar to Lincoln's. He didn't want to punish the South for it's mistake. Although he wanted to show mercy to the returning south, the plan stated that all major players on the Confederate would lose their right to vote. He also said that the plan would pardon anyone who was worth less than 20,000.
