YouTube presents a 2015 video, produced by ColumbiaLearn and hosted by Dr. Eric Foner, that provides a in-depth look at Andrew Johnson's Reconstruction plan--which granted amnesty to anyone directly or indirectly involved in the rebellion against the Union as long as they sign an oath of allegiance, except for the major Confederate leaders and anyone whose estates costed more than $20,000 in 1860--and how it differed from Abraham Lincoln's Reconstruction plan.
