B) Johnson vetoed Civil Rights Act of 1866 and Freedmen’s Bureau because he felt they made federal government too powerful 1) Congress over rides Johnson’s veto

C) The Radicals start rejecting all of Johnson’s proposals. 1) They have the US ARMY take control of the southern governments. 2) They propose several new laws to punish the south. 3) They even passed a law saying Johnson could not fire anyone without their permission.

How did Johnson respond to this? He fired his Secretary of War.

How did the Radical Congress respond? They impeached President Johnson.
