Answer:

The correct answer is B. As a slaveholder and a Democrat, President Andrew Johnson was unable to lead the country through Reconstruction.

Explanation:

Andrew Johnson was a Southern Democrat from North Carolina. In 1864, Republican Abraham Lincoln elected him as vice president. He was sworn in on March 4, 1865. After the assassination of Lincoln on April 15, 1865, he succeeded him as President.


Johnson took office in the period of the Reconstruction, immediately after the Civil War, in which the southern states were reunited with the Union. He continued the policy that Lincoln had initiated, but wanted to re-admit southern states much sooner that what Radical Republicans wanted. However, this was structurally opposed by Congress, which was dominated by Republicans. Congress first wanted guarantees regarding the civil rights of the black people before admitting the states, while President Johnson wanted to admit the states first, and then to establish different laws regarding African Americans' rights.

These differences, added to his status as a Democrat, made Congress practically impossible every one of his proposals.
