how was president andrew johnsons plan for the south different from lincolns?

a. it made former slaves stay on the land.

b. it was harder on former confederate states.

c. it allowed rich people to keep their slaves.

d. it was easier on former confederate states.

Explanation:

Lincoln's Reconstruction plan (Ten - Percent Plan) was relatively lenient, aiming for a quick reunion. Andrew Johnson's plan was even more lenient toward former Confederate states. He pardoned many former Confederates easily and required less from the Southern states in terms of reform. Option A is incorrect as his plan didn't force former slaves to stay on the land. Option B is wrong because his plan was not harder on Confederate states. Option C is incorrect as slavery was already abolished by the time of his plan. Option D is correct as his plan was easier on former Confederate states compared to Lincoln's (and later Radical Republican plans).

Answer:

D. It was easier on former Confederate states.
