Johnson was very committed to white supremacy, yet the "moderate" Republicans who killed Thaddeus Stevens land reparations proposal and later softened the 15th Amendment actually bear more responsibility for the unfulfilled end result of Reconstruction than Johnson.
Wilson, however, actively implemented Jim Crow legislation and openly endorsed the KKK, at a time when the general attitude had been gradual integration.
