The congress did not like the way how Johnson had tried to get the south back to the union.
The congress declined to seat the newly elected southern representative and senators who had just recently been the member of the military and confederate government.
The congress also decided to make a committee look into the matter of how the south will going to be handled.

Americans were unsure how to handle the reintegration of the South due to a clash between President Johnson's lenient approach and the more stringent views of Radical Republicans. This division created concerns about the rights of freedmen and the influence of former Confederate leaders. The uncertainty reflected varied opinions on how harshly to treat the South after the Civil War and reinforced the deep divisions in society at the time.
