presidential:After Confederate surrender in 1865 President Abraham Lincoln delivered his last public address, his Reconstruction policy. He said that the Confederate states had never left the Union, which was in direct opposition to the views of Radical Republican Congressmen who felt the Confederate states had seceded from the Union and should be treated like "conquered provinces." Lincoln's proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction in 1863 he said southerners could be pardoned and
reinstated as US citizens if they took and oath of allegiance to the Constitution.Johnson issued his own reconstruction proclamation that was largely in agreement with Lincoln's plan.

congressional:A majority group of moderate Republicans in Congress supported Lincoln's position that the Confederate states should be reintegrated as quickly as possible,They wanted to effect sweeping changes in the south and grant the freed slaves full citizenship before the states were restored, In June of 1866, the Joint Committee on Reconstruction determined that, by seceding, the southern states had forfeited "all civil and political rights under the Constitution."
