Question

After emancipation, many formerly enslaved people built farms on abandoned land. What did President Johnson do with this land during Reconstruction?

Answer 1

Option A is the answer. President Johnson had returned the land to its former owners.

Johnson officially distributed lands to people who were formerly enslaved.

During Tensions in Washington between pro- and anti-slavery forces increased greatly.

Johnson gave a major speech in the Senate as "all men are created equal" Andrew Johnson  1808 – J1875, was the 17th President of the United States, and one of the  Democrats who served  Lincoln on the National Union ticket. Johnson joined the office as the Civil War concluded.

Though his plans were not effective to provide protection to the former slaves, and he came into conflict with the Republican-dominated Congress, but ultimately he contributed a lot in abolishing slavery and welfare of the slaves.
