Congress passed the Reconstruction Act of 1867
rapid readmission of Southern states into the Union
Each state that had seceded from the Union had to go through several steps. They had to permanently abolish slavery, have a fraction of all men sign a loyalty oath to the United States, and agree never to attempt to secede again.
The Constitution provided no guidance on secession or readmission of states.
Reconstruction
readmission into the union was when all the southern states that seceded came back and rejoined America
Lincoln.
The Congressional and the presidential.

rapid readmission of Southern states into the Union
December 8: President Lincoln announces the Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction. It offers pardon and restoration of property -- except slaves -- to Confederates who swear allegiance to the Union and agree to accept emancipation.

Kentucky never left the Union so there was no need for readmission. Kentucky declared for the Union after Confederate forces occupied Columbus in late 1861. Tennessee left the Union and was readmitted into the Union early on during Reconstruction.
A) The deep differences between President Lincoln and Congress I think this is right
The main goal of Reconstruction was to reunite the northern and southern states after the American Civil War. In particular, its aim was to help the South be rebuilt upon its readmission to the Union.
