How did the Republicans in Congress amend the Constitution to further their Reconstruction program?
They passed the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to guarantee equality under the law and the right to vote. Both amendments counteracted efforts by the President, the southern states, and the courts to block Congress's Reconstruction program.
How did congress try to reshape southern society?
After the Civil War ended, one of the main focuses was presidential reconstruction, which created a stronger government to unify the north and south.

Who controlled the south during congressional reconstruction?
The Presidential opposition and Southern States resistance to the Fourteenth Amendment and to Reconstruction so outraged the Congress that in March 1867 it passed a Reconstruction Act that imposed its desired version on the South by means of a diktat. Therefore all former Confederate States but one (Tennessee had been readmitted in 1866 to the Union), were grouped into five military districts, each ruled by a military governor in order to push forward the Reconstruction program according to the Congress wishes and check the progress done.
Why did congress not include representative from all states in 1865?

What are radical regimes?
Radical regimes- The murderous Memphis and New Orleans race riots of 1866 proved that Reconstruction needed to be declared and enforced, and the Military Reconstruction Act jump-started this process. Congress chose to send the military, creating "radical regimes" throughout the secessionist states. Radical Republicans hoped that by declaring martial law in the South and passing the Second Reconstruction Act, they would be able to create a Republican political base in the seceded states to facilitate their plans for Radical Reconstruction. Though most southern whites hated the "regimes" that Congress established, they proved successful in speeding up Reconstruction. Indeed, by 1870 all of the southern states had been readmitted to the Union. AJ SANDUGI helped (:

Who controlled most of the rebuilding of the country during Reconstruction the President or Congress?
here's a blurb i found when trying to answer this same question for my homework:Radical Reconstruction, also known as Congressional Reconstruction, was the time when congressional Republicans, moderates and Radicals, controlled Reconstruction in the South. Prior to Republican control, Andrew Johnson's Presidential Reconstruction had allowed ex-Confederate leaders to regain power in southern state governments. He lost control over Reconstruction when congressional elections in the fall of 1866 led to a two-thirds majority of Republicans in both houses of Congress. When the Fortieth Congress returned in March 1867, presidential Reconstruction ended.Hope that helped you!!
