The ascent of Andrew Johnson, a Southerner, to the presidency eventually led to a bitter clash with Congress. Though Congress and Johnson agreed that slavery should be abolished and that the power of the planter class had to be broken down, Congress supported federal guarantees for Black citizenship while Johnson insisted that the South should be permitted to reestablish White supremacy.

How long did the official reconstruction period last?
I'm not sure if there was ever an "official" reconstruction period. Generally, "Reconstruction" is applied to federal government policies applied to defeated Southern states as early as 1863. Historians generally agree that Reconstruction policies ended soon after the inauguration (following a razor-thin election) of Rutherford B. Hayes in 1877.
