Best Answer

The main difference was that Lincoln wanted to have everyone free (someone please edit this to say more on Lincoln's plan) but Johnson wanted to give every state the choice on what to do with their freed slaves. Johnson didn't let any African American occupy a government position, nor did he let them vote. He even said "This is a country for white men, and by God, as long as I am President, it shall be a government for white men."
