Why did president johnson deviate from his original plan of punishing southern aristocrats by making it difficult for states to reenter the union?

a. johnson lost interest in the issue of reconstruction upon lincoln's assassination.
b. johnson became more interested in the passage of the thirteenth through fifteenth amendments.
c. johnson believed that the union was paramount and the south should be represented.
d. johnson did not believe southern landowners had done anything wrong leading up to the war.
e. johnson wanted to show his authority by passing the civil rights bill of 1866

I believe the answer is: C. Johnson believed that the Union was paramount and southern states should be represented.

Johnson believe that leaving the southern states people left unrepresented in the government would only ignite the anger that might lead to the second civil war. Because of this, he made it easy for them to re-enter union and provide the southern states with the opportunity to send their representative for the legislative process.
