which of the following were components or consequences of andrew johnsons reconstruction plan? (select all that apply.) (h 4.8.9)
former confederate leaders were allowed to regain power.
johnsons plan was stricter than lincolns.
the u.s. army enforced strict protections for freedpeople
southern states passed black codes limiting african americans rights

Explanation:

• Former Confederate leaders were allowed to regain power: Andrew Johnson's Reconstruction plan was lenient towards the South. He issued pardons easily, allowing many former Confederate leaders to regain political power.
• Southern states passed Black Codes limiting African Americans' rights: After the Civil War, with Johnson's lenient Reconstruction, Southern states passed Black Codes. These were laws that severely restricted the rights of newly - freed African Americans, essentially trying to maintain a system similar to slavery in many aspects (e.g., limiting their employment options, movement, etc.).

• Johnson's plan was not stricter than Lincoln's: Lincoln's plan (10% plan) was already quite lenient (requiring only 10% of the 1860 voters in a state to take an oath of loyalty for the state to be readmitted). Johnson's plan was even more lenient in some ways (e.g., easier pardons for wealthy Southerners, no real protection for African American political participation in the initial stages).
• The U.S. Army did not enforce strict protections for freedpeople under Johnson's plan: Johnson's Reconstruction did not have a strong federal presence (like the later Radical Reconstruction) to enforce protections for freedpeople. It was more focused on quickly reintegrating the South with minimal changes to the Southern social structure (except for the end of legal slavery).

Answer:

Former Confederate leaders were allowed to regain power, Southern states passed Black Codes limiting African Americans' rights.
