Answer the question:
1. how Congressional Reconstruction differed from Presidential Reconstruction
2. Congressional Reconstruction’s political and policy accomplishments
3. The depth of commitment to white supremacy by many leaders in the North
4. The forces and trends that led to Congressional Reconstruction’s decline
*Note: This is not a question about Andrew Johnson or Presidential Reconstruction (1865-1867). It is a mainly question about what happened after 1867, when Congress outmaneuvered Johnson and took over Reconstruction policy. Don’t spend too much time talking about Johnson, as he’s not relevant after 1867.
