The Radical Republicans were a faction of American politicians within the Republican Party of the United States from around 1854 (before the American Civil War) until the end of Reconstruction in 1877. They called themselves "Radicals", with a goal of immediate, complete, permanent eradication of slavery, without compromise. They were opposed during the War by the moderate Republicans (led by United States President Abraham Lincoln), by the conservative Republicans, and by the pro-slavery and anti-Reconstruction Democratic Party as well as by conservatives in the South and liberals in the North during Reconstruction. Radicals led efforts after the war to establish civil rights for former slaves and fully implement emancipation. After weaker measures in 1866 resulted in violence against former slaves in the rebel states, Radicals pushed the Fourteenth Amendment and statutory protections through Congress. They disfavored allowing ex-Confederates officers to retake political power in the South, and emphasized equality, civil rights and voting rights for the "freedpeople", i.e. people who had been enslaved by state slavery laws within the United States.[1]

Answer 2

The radical Republican was a plan for reconstruction considered "radical" because if it is implemented, it will bring significant changes to the South. Radical Republicans are Northern politicians who hugely resisted slavery and its backup foundation in South America before and during the Civil War.

EXPLANATION  

 

The Radical Republicans is a group of American politicians inside the United States Republican Party. It was established around 1854 (before the American Civil War) until the end of Reconstruction in 1877. After the North won the war, the Radical Republic felt the South should be punished for its actions.

The initial purpose of their plan was to demand that all African-American men have the right to vote. This is a big change for southerners because originally African-American men were not permitted to vote as slaves. They also called for the voting rights of former Confederate leaders.

The End of Reconstruction

Eventually, it was called the "Liberal Republic" (more conservative than Radical), along with Democrats in 1872 The Radical Republic was corrupt and took bribes (especially since 1869, during Grant's administration). Radical opponents demand amnesty for all former Confederates, thereby restoring their right to vote and hold public office.
