Best Answer

The actual process began in 1863, with the Louisiana Plan, but was only implemented after the war's end in 1865. Reconstruction ended in 1877 with the Compromise of 1877.

Congress would not follow Lincoln's "Louisiana plan" and in December, 1864 refused to acknowledge the Congressional delegations from Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee. President Andrew Johnson tried to implement a plan similar to one considered by Abraham Lincoln, but Johnson effectively rescinded the confiscation of lands intended for freed slaves. The Radical Republicans established military governors to oversee mandated changes in the Southern state governments.
