The Reconstruction Period only happened following the Civil War. The purpose of this period was to rebuild the South after the war essentially caused it's destruction.
"Reconstruction" referred to both the physical rebuilding of cities, roads, bridges, etc. damaged or destroyed by the war, and the economic retooling of commercial operations that had previously relied on slave labor. Both were necessary.

Congress then tried a plan, but Lincoln pocket vetoed it. Johnston then tried a plan, but failed, then congress came up with a new plan and suceeded.
