Lincoln believed that once a state always a state, which meant they had no power to secede. He was very forgiving to the CSA (Confederate States of America/southern states) after the war, and allowed them back into the union & begin reconstruction if 10% of the southern states who seceded's population swore allegiance to the Union. The Radicals believed that the Southern states had committed suicide and destroyed their own states. They thought Lincoln was being too lenient, and called for 50% or more to swear allegiance before reconstruction would begin. Lincoln vetoed the bill.
