A movement for more democracy in American government in the 1830s. Led by President Andrew Jackson, this movement championed greater rights for the common man and was opposed to any signs of aristocracy in the nation.
Answer:
Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson adopted moderate positions to return the South to the Union as quickly as possible, while Radical Republicans in Congress sought stronger measures to improve the rights of African-Americans, including the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. The United States, while reducing the rights of former confederates, such as through the provisions of the Wade-Davis bill, Johnson, a former Tennessee senator and former slave owner, followed an indulgent policy toward ex-Confederates . Lincoln's last speeches show that he was leaning to support the freedom of vote of all freedmen, while Johnson opposed this.
