What does reconstruction mean referring to the Civil War?
Reconstruction was the time in United States' History when the South rebuilt after the Civil War. Lincoln set up military districts to assign each state to and the Union generals kept order in the territory over which they preside. Each military district did expire though. From 1863 to 1877, the revision of these states took time, but were steadily made, by boosting social and economic components of the Southern states. Each state needed 10% of its population to approve the addition of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to their respective states' constitution. By doing this, each state could then re-enter the Union.
What is the difference between presidental reconstruction and congressional reconstruction?
Congressional Reconstruction restricted eligibility for participation in the state constitutional conventions in the South. Presidential Reconstruction was run by the president. The president who at the time was Abraham Lincoln made it up. When he died Johnson took over the plan. Congress lost hope in him so they tried to impeach him. They also in turn took over and named there plan Congressional reconstruction. Therefore Congress made Congressional Reconstruction and The president made presidential reconstruction. 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. During presidential Reconstruction efforts to help the newly freed slaves went well at first. The Freedmen's Bureau educated blacks and helped them adjust to their new way of life. But very soon the Southern states passed "black codes," which discriminated against blacks, and President Johnson did little to protect their rights. Once the Radical Republicans realized that they could override the president's veto, they sharply increased the pace and tone of Reconstruction. They promoted the 13th Amendment, passed the Civil Rights and Reconstruction Acts, sent soldiers to the South to provide law and order, made it difficult for former Rebels to hold public office, and opened the doors to black citizenship.

How did the slavery issue get tied up with manifest destiny in the 1840?
As a result of this theory that white settlers were 'destined' to colonize the whole of what today is the USA, new territories were settled and these territories were coming up for the status of US States. The discussion about slavery had already been going on for some time between the slave-holding South and the Northern States. In the until then existing States the South had an equality if not a majority position in the discussion, and the issue had for the time being been more or less settled in the Missouri Compromise. The new States however threatened to upset the balance of power between the slave-holding States and the rest, and the Southern States therefore insisted that newly established States should also formally become slave-holding States. The Northern States opposed this, as did a sometimes large part of the inhabitants of the newly colonized areas.

Did reconstruction fail?
It seems some people are mixing up the Reformation and the Reconstruction. The Reformation occurred before the Reconstruction, and the Reconstruction after the conclusion of the Civil War. Whether or not the Reconstruction failed is a matter of opinion, though many say that it was the manifestation of Northern punishment of the South or that it was a noble intention but not carried out far enough. However, some also say that the Reconstruction was the best that could be expected at the time.
