President Andrew Johnson believed that the rights of the Emancipation Proclamation and its guarantees were enough to secure the civil rights of the African-Americans.
Because of that President Johnson believed that a new bill was completely unnecessary. But this was not really an isolated case. The Freedman's Bureau was facing position left and right, in their mission which included providing financial help, food and shelter to freed African-Americans and poor whites as well as resettling former slaves on the confiscated land.
