Each reconstruction plan called for new state constitutions for the former Confederate states because the people of those states sought to restore self-rule.
White Southerners resented being ruled by Freedmen’s Bureau officials and Union military governors. They sought to restore self-rule. Most of the old Confederate states during the summer and fall of 1865 held constitutional conventions. President Johnson’s reconstruction plan permitted white persons only to participate in the framing of the new state governments and to vote for convention delegates. None of the state conventions unsurprisingly considered extending the right to vote to the freedmen. Most of the South by the end of the year had held elections under the new state constitutions.
