Presidential and Congressional reconstruction

Need more detail. That question makes no sense as stated.

Are you referring to what is known as the Reconstruction Era after the American Civil War?

If so, start your reading here:

If you are referring to something else, we need clarification.

Yes, I am referring to this. I couldn't figure out if there were any lasting impact to this.
