Andrew Johnson favored prosecuting top confederated states officials, but was opposed, notably by Grant, who cited Appomattox surrender terms to keep Lee from trial, and Salmon P. Chase, who opposed trials in military occupied areas. I believe Lincoln would have done better, but don't blame Johnson.
