Best Answer

The south wanted to deny the freed slaves civil rights. They used violence against the slaves, as well as southern Union supporters. The south passed the "black codes" to try and control the blacks. They are stubborn and refuse to allow the slaves to simply pack up and go, leaving southerners with no one to cultivate their plantations and keep their economy working smoothly.

The presidential reconstruction supported the 10% rule, while the congressional reconstruction rejected the rule, instead they supported the"forfeited-rights theory"which states that as long as the southerners rebelled against the union; they had forfeited their rights under the U.S. constitution.. Also the presidential rule was very lenient towards the southerners. and offered some form of amnesty to southerners who would take oath of allegiance. the congressional reconstruction wanted revenge against the south.

How did the White South's intransigence in president Johnson's political bungling open the way for the congressional republican program of military reconstruction?

After the war the Southern States enacted black codes as a way to restore the pre-emancipation system of the South. President Johnson also granted pardons to former Confederate soldiers, who then began to gain political power once returning home. Reconstruction was enacted to prevent the Southern States from gaining more political power and to ensure that slavery did not reoccur. Congress also passed more stringent requirements for states seeking readmission.
