    Congressman Thaddeus Stevens offered an amendment to Freedmen’s Bureau bill authorizing the distribution of public land and confiscated land and to freedmen and loyal refugees in forty-acre lots.

Meeting ended in disagreement and controversy after Johnson reiterated his opposition to black suffrage.
