Why port and starboard instead of left and right?

Steorbord, lit. "side on which a vessel was steered," from steor- "rudder, steering paddle" + bord "ship's side." Cf. O.N. stjornborði, Low Ger. stürbord, Ger. Steuerbord. Early Germanic peoples' boats were propelled and steered by a paddle on the right side. Fr. tribord (O.Fr. estribord), It. stribordo are Gmc. loan-words.  

<span>port </span>

<span>Meaning "left side of a ship" is attested from 1543, from notion of "the side facing the harbor" (when a ship is docked). It replaced larboard in common usage to avoid confusion with starboard (q.v.); officially so by Admiralty order of 1844 and U.S. Navy Department notice of 1846. Fig. sense "place of refuge" is attested from 1426; phrase any port in a storm first recorded 1749. </span>

What did the radicals thinks of lincolns reconstruction plan
melamori03 [73]

When it came to Lincoln's reconstruction plan, the Radicals felt it was too forgiving and did not make enough changes.

<h3>How did Radicals view Lincon's Reconstruction?</h3>

The Radical Republicans in Congress wanted a significant percentage of the South's male population to swear allegiance to the Union and they wanted slavery abolished immediately.

Lincoln on the other hand, wanted only 10% to swear allegiance. The Radicals therefore thought he was too soft.
