Johnson believed that the Union was paramount and the South should be represented.

ANSWER:

President "Johnson" deviated from his original plan of "punishing Southern aristocrats" because he believed that the "South should be represented" and that the "Union was paramount".

EXPLANATION:

  • Johnson thought that leaving the people of the southern states left unrepresented in the administration would just ignite the anger that may prompt the "second civil war".
  • Along these lines, he made it simple for them to re-enter union and give the southern states the chance to send their representative for the legislative procedure.
