Answer:

Thomas Jefferson, age 33, arrived in Philadelphia on June 20, 1775, as a Virginia delegate to the Second Continental Congress. Fighting at Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill had already broken out between the colonists and British troops. Even so, most in Congress wanted to work out some mutual agreement with the mother country.

For more than a year, the Americans had sent petitions to England proclaiming their grievances against the British government. Colonists even appealed to the British people, pleading with them to elect different members of Parliament who would be more open to compromise. But the "British brethren" refused to do this.

Soon after Jefferson arrived in Philadelphia, Congress assigned him to draft a document explaining why the colonists had taken up arms against England. Even at this late date, the Congress still blamed only Parliament and the king's government ministers, not King George himself, for the growing conflict. Jefferson's Declaration of the Causes and Necessity for Taking Up Arms stopped short of declaring independence, but pointed out the folly of governing the American colonies from England.

Contrast the goals of radical republicans with those of more moderate republicans such as president lincoln.
Fantom [35]

Before the American Civil War in 1854, and until the end of the period known as Reconstruction, it was possible to distinguish a radical faction in the Republican Party of the United States, integrated by slavery and secessionism eradication encouragers,  opposed by a Conservative faction led by President Abraham Lincoln, and integrated by the anti-abolitionist and the anti-reconstruction Democratic Party.

The Radical Republicans sought to punish and destroy the political power of former slave owners, to establish civil rights for former slaves and the full implementation of emancipation, giving freed US slaves the right to vote. In contrast, the Moderate Republicans' goals promoted a modest position in order to bring the South back into the American Union as quickly as possible.
