('Because they could' doesn't service).

The same day President Johnson issued a pardon, he issued another proclamation for North Carolina. (Became a model of how he wanted to restore South back into the Union). Under it, each former confederate state had to call a convention to revoke its ordinance of secession, ratify 13th amendment, and reject all Civil War debts.

Most met these conditions. However, many members of congress were angered when they realized that Southern voters elected former Confederate officers and political leaders. Many found it bad and unacceptable so they decided to reject the new Southern members of congress.

After Lincoln had passed, President Johnson's reconstruction plan included a way to reconstruct southern state governments. States that followed his steps were to be readmitted to the Union. And those that followed Johnson's plan, Congress refused to accept them back into the Union.
