Answer from Google: The Radical Republicans were a faction of the Republican Party during the American Civil War. They were distinguished by their fierce advocacy for the abolition of slavery, enfranchisement of black citizens, and holding the Southern states financially and morally culpable for the war.

Answer from Socratic:
The Radical Republicans thought Lincoln didn't take a hard enough line against slavery.

Thaddeus Stevens was always on the political fringes. He began his political career as part of the Anti-Masonic party, continued with the Whig (Anti-Jackson) party, the Know-Nothing (Anti-Catholic and Anti-Immigrant) Party and ultimately, the (Anti-Slavery) Republican Party.

In Congress, representing Pennsylvania, he was a gadfly to Lincoln for dragging his feet on banning slavery; after the war and assassination, he opposed Andrew Johnson for wanting the southern states back in the Union as quickly as possible. Stevens lobbied hard for Johnson's impeachment. He died in 1868, just in time to see the Republicans quietly drop civil rights for Blacks from their platform.

These authors and their ideas influenced later revolutionary movements in Europe and the Americas, as was the case of the Revolutionary War of the 13 colonies, and the French Revolution.
