What was Andrew johnsons plan for reconstruction?

To offer pardon and amnesty to participants in the rebellion who pledged loyalty to the Union(unless that person was worth more then 20,000 dollars then they had to get pardon by the president himself) and support for the end of slavery.Designated William Holden as provisional governor of North Carolina and directed him to call a convention to amend the state's existing constitution so as to create a "republican form of government."Johnson followed Lincoln's approach in offering amnesty to former Confederates, the major difference being that he excluded persons owning over $20,000 worth of property, which Lincoln had not. In practice, however, most of those in the excluded categories soon received individual pardons, so it made little difference.He was less generous to former slaves than Lincoln in that he did not call for the enfranchisement of those who had served in the Union Army. States did not have to allow blacks to vote. It has been widely speculated that Lincoln would have at some point insisted on at least a limited Black suffrage.(What Johnson is said to have said about his ideas for reconstruction prior to President Lincoln's assassination, and his actions after President Lincoln's assassination, are very different. Vice President Andrew Johnson had taken a hard line and spoke of hanging rebel Confederates. In late April, 1865, he was noted telling an Indiana delegation that, "Treason must be made odious ... traitors must be punished and impoverished ... their social power must be destroyed.")
