How did the presidential and congressional battle for control of Reconstruction in the South affect newly freed blacks?
President Johnson was a (southern) democrat while Congress was Republican. The difference in views got in the way, and there were many disagreements. Johnson vetoed a lot of bills (that congress wanted to pass) which would have helped the African Americans gain rights and freedom. Johnson was not for reconstruction and he didn't want to free the slaves. This is one reason why Johnson was impeached-because congress strongly disliked him.
How can the relationship between the republican congress and president Andrew Johnson during the reconstruction be described?
In a word, antagonistic. Johnson got almost no support from Congress. Indeed, he was impeached by the House, and just one Senator less than 2/3 of the Senators voted to remove him from office. Johnson was from Tennessee and was viewed as a Confederate sympathizer, which to some extent he was. Unlike much of Congress, he did not want to punish the South further for their revolt.
What did ultra Radicals want after the Civil War?

What did President Andrew Johnson want after the Civil War?
To allow the South after the Civil War to segregate and basically force freedmen back into virtual slavery. So when you hear Radical Republicans, realize that it was Johnson that ended reconstruction and allowed for Jim Crow Laws, so yeah thanks revisionist historians.
Who did president Johnson want to punish during reconstruction?
Prior to President Lincoln's assassination, Vice President Andrew Johnson had taken a hard line and spoke of hanging rebel Confederates. In late April, 1865, he was noted telling an Indiana delegation that, "Treason must be made odious ... traitors must be punished and impoverished ... their social power must be destroyed." After President Lincoln's assassination, as early as May of 1865, President Andrew Johnson's Reconstruction plan was NOT aimed to punish Confederate Leaders; his plan was a device which was very lenient on Confederate Leaders. He appointed new governments in the south, who passed Black Codes. Black Codes, basically forced the newly freed slaves into being second class citizens.
Why did Johnson and congress clash over reconstruction?
