The correct answer is A) He returned it to white landowners.

President Johnson handled land that had been abandoned in the South during the Civil War by returning it to white landowners.

On May 19865, President Johnson offers amnesty to most Confederates. Many of them reclaimed the abandoned plants in the South that were occupied by the freedman. Four months later, in September, Thaddeus Stevens, a representative from Pennsylvania proposed a Bill that allowed the federal government to confiscate land formerly owned by slave owners, but the Bill was never voted on.
