The ascent of Andrew Johnson, a Southerner, to the presidency eventually led to a bitter clash with Congress. Though Congress and Johnson agreed that slavery should be abolished and that the power of the planter class had to be broken down, Congress supported federal guarantees for Black citizenship while Johnson insisted that the South should be permitted to reestablish White supremacy.

What was the primary goal for Lincoln and Johnsons Reconstruction plans?

The primary goal of Lincoln and Johnson's Reconstruction plans was to reunify the nation and facilitate the reintegration of the Southern states following the Civil War. They aimed to achieve this through relatively lenient policies, emphasizing forgiveness and rapid restoration of statehood to encourage healing and stability. Lincoln's Ten Percent Plan proposed that a Southern state could rejoin the Union once 10% of its voters took an oath of loyalty, while Johnson continued with similar leniency but faced resistance from Congress regarding civil rights for freed slaves. Ultimately, their approaches sought to mend the nation while balancing the complex social and political challenges of the post-war era.

How long did the official reconstruction period last?

I'm not sure if there was ever an "official" reconstruction period. Generally, "Reconstruction" is applied to federal government policies applied to defeated Southern states as early as 1863. Historians generally agree that Reconstruction policies ended soon after the inauguration (following a razor-thin election) of Rutherford B. Hayes in 1877.
