Why did Congress refuse to seat the delegates elected under Johnson's Reconstruction Plan?
Because the Reconstruction plan he afforded to Southerners while Congress was adjourned was too generous by the Northern Republican's Standards. The Southerners had their property and citizen's right restored without having to make any concessions with regards to African-American's civil rights. The Southern states enacted Black Codes (special provisions to state law that only applied to African Americans). Blacks were not allowed to vote. Also, all their former Confederate enemies in Congress were re-elected into power.

Why was Johnson's reconstruction plan likely to provoke problems with congress?
Johnson granted pardon's to people who took an oath of loyalty, No pardons would be available to high Confederate officials and persons owning property valued in excess of $20,000. Not only that but he felt a state need to abolish slavery before it could be readmitted. He also was not a great people person. A clash between Johnson and congress was inevitable at this point. But eventually congress brewed up a plan(pardon the term) Congress passed the civil right bill in 1866, when President Johnson vetoed a bill to extend the life of the Freedmen's Bureau. Congress wanted to amend it to include protection for the black population. So as you can see congress didn"t really have a plan for reconstruction so they differ very extremely. sorry for any falsifications i may have made it been a while

What Reconstruction plan did President Lincoln favor at the end of the Civil War?
President Lincoln seemed to favor self-Reconstruction by the states with little assistance from Washington. To appeal to poorer whites, he offered topardonall Confederates; to appeal to former plantation owners and southern aristocrats, he pledged to protect private property. Unlike Radical Republicans in Congress, Lincoln did not want to punish southerners or reorganize southern society. His actions indicate that he wanted Reconstruction to be a short process in which secessionist states could draft new constitutions as swiftly as possible so that the United States could exist as it had before. But historians can only speculate that Lincoln desired a swift reunification, for his assassination in 1865 cut his plans for Reconstruction short.Source- Sparknotes.com-american reconstruction.
