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.

Why do you call the period after the Civil War the reconstruction era?
"Reconstruction" was the word used during the War to describe the rejoining of the rebel states to the Union. It did not carry any pejorative connotation. During the so-called Reconstruction Era, 1865-77, it acquired the negative sense it has today, because of the theft and brutality of the Federal officials and their accomplices (the so-called "carpetbaggers" and "scalawags"). In recent decades such Marxist historians as Eric Foner have tried to rehabilitate the era by saying that Reconstruction failed because there was too much corruption on the part of Northern capitalists, and the radical Abolitionists quickly lost interest in their plan to destroy the South and replace the old ruling castes with Federal-backed negro governments."Neo-Confederate" historians occasionally answer that the corruption of the postwar years was endemic to Radical Republican rule, in North as well as South (for example the Grant Administration, the Jay Gould scandals, and the Boss Tweed ring).
