Explanation:

Brief Explanations

For question 18: Andrew Johnson's Reconstruction plan was lenient towards the South and did not support Black political representation. It did not expand education (that was more of a Freedmen's Bureau effort in some cases), slavery was abolished by the 13th Amendment so reinstating it was not possible, and there was no push for Black westward migration in his plan.
For question 19: Scandals in the Grant administration (such as Credit Mobilier) weakened the Republican hold on Congress. President Grant did not give Democrats free - reign. Johnson was not president during most of Reconstruction after 1868 (Grant was), and the Reconstruction Acts were not declared unconstitutional at the time Democrats undid Reconstruction gains.

Answer:

  1. It excluded Black representation.
  2. scandals in the Grant administration allowed them to recapture Congress.
