• Abraham Lincoln in which his goal was to end the resentment initiated by the war and immediately reunify the country.
• The radical republicans in which the term described congressmen who supported full citizenship rights for former slaves, such as voting rights and rights to land ownership. They preferred punishment of the rebellious states.
• Andrew johnson in which differed with lincoln's opinion and supposed the confederacy should be punished. He made penance in contradiction of confederate leaders more severe. Separated states were not permitted back right away and were put under military occupation. Andrew johnson later forgiven confederate leaders angering radical republicans.
• The united states grant in which grant agreed with the radical republicans stance on granting rights to african americans.<span />
