The 14th Amendment is about?

The 14th amendment gave almost all people living in America the rights of citizens. This in turn overruled the infamous Dred Scott v. Sandford case.

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 Licoln 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 Congresional Reconstruction and The president made presidential reconstruction.

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.

What is the difference between presidental reconstruction and congressional reconstruction?

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.
