Why did Congress still refuse to readmit southern states into the Union in 1865 when Vice President Andrew Johnson became president?

('Because they could' doesn't service). The same day President Johnson issued a pardon, he issued another proclamation for North Carolina. (Became a model of how he wanted to restore South back into the Union). Under it, each former confederate state had to call a convention to revoke its ordinance of secession, ratify 13th amendment, and reject all Civil War debts. Most met these conditions. However, many members of congress were angered when they realized that Southern voters elected former Confederate officers and political leaders. Many found it bad and unacceptable so they decided to reject the new Southern members of congress.


What did great Britain refuse to recognize the government of the confederate states of America?

Because Lincoln had changed the official war-aim by issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, which turned it into a war on slavery. After that, Britain could not intervene on the Confederate side without looking pro-slavery -and the British public would never have agreed to send troops for that purpose. Lincoln acted just in time. The British Parliament was close to granting recognition when it was closing down for its summer recess, and all the news was of Robert E.Lee's dazzling string of victories. When Parliamant reassembled, the news of Lee's defeat at Antietam was just coming in, and they decided to wait a bit longer. The unexpected Northern victory gave Lincoln the credibility to make his dramatic announcement without looking as though it was a desperate measure.
