Question 3: Why did Andrew Johnson face difficulty implementing his Reconstruction plans?

He had violated the Tenure of Office Act in removing his War Secretary.

African Americans believed his plans were good but did not go far enough.

He was not accepted by the Radical Republicans or by white Southerners.

He wanted to destroy the Republican Party and punish the South.

and that is IT!

Answer 3

For the first question, on African Americans fitting into mainstream culture, I'd probably go with the first option -- the Tuskegee Institute graduates and members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Tuskegee institute was also home to the Tuskegee Airmen, the first black aviators in the US military, something that the NAACP would appreciate in trouncing the perception that flying was "whites" only.

On the question of political bosses, I'd go with the second option -- that they helped people in need because it would help them win votes or receive payoffs. It's an old story in politics that bosses often used to their advantage in many cases. Publicity was nice, but it could often be fickle in either supporting them, or poking fun at them, at the same time.

As for ol' Andrew Johnson, this was a tough one. He and the Radical Republicans did not see eye to eye, that's true, and waged a bitter Congressional battle over Reconstruction policies. He was also called to account on violating the Tenure of Office Act by removing his War Secretary (which would lead to his impeachment). He didn't want to destroy the Republican party and was actually lenient when it came to the South.

So it's between the first and third answers. If it weren't for that "white Southerners" thing, the third answer could work considering that he wanted fewer punitive measures against the Southern states in general. He didn't want to punish them more than they already had been. Then again, the impeachment proceedings would ultimately derail his further efforts at fighting for his ideas on Reconstruction, making the first option workable.
