How did the White South's intransigence in president Johnson's political bungling open the way for the congressional republican program of military reconstruction?

After the war the Southern States enacted black codes as a way to restore the pre-emancipation system of the South.

Reconstruction was enacted to prevent the Southern States from gaining more political power and to ensure that slavery did not reoccur. Congress also passed more stringent requirements for states seeking readmission.

There were 21 million people in the north, and 5.5 million white people in the south.
