former slaves

B)

former Confederates

C)

former abolitionists

D)

former Union soldiers

The correct answer is B. President Andrew Johnson's Reconstruction efforts affected former Confederates most positively.

Explanation:

Andrew Johnson was the seventeenth president of the United States, in office from 1865 to 1869, given the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, of whom he had been vice president. Since the Civil War had ended shortly before his presidency, Johnson was concerned to begin with the reconstruction of the states that had separated from the union, but found opposition from the Republican majority in the Congress.

His policy of reconciliation with the South, his haste to reincorporate former Confederates back to the Union, and his vetoes of civil rights bills involved him in a bitter dispute with Republicans, who tried to impeach him.
