What is the difference between presidental reconstruction and congressional reconstruction?
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 Lincoln 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 Congressional Reconstruction and The president made presidential reconstruction. The presidential reconstruction supported the 10% rule, while the congressional reconstruction rejected the rule, instead they supported the"forfeited-rights theory"which states that as long as the southerners rebelled against the union; they had forfeited their rights under the U.S. constitution.. 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. 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.

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!!
