What group of republicans agreed with Lincoln's ideas that the seceded states should be restored to the Union swiftly and on the terms of congress not the president?

The Radical Republicans believed that former slaves should?
As the US' Reconstruction period began Radical Republicans believed that freed slaves should have freedom, and the same rights as any white citizen. Other people in the Democratic Party and citizens with no party affiliation also agreed with the Republicans.
Besides Bill Clinton who was the only other US president to be impeached?
Andrew Johnson, in 1868, was impeached and avoided conviction by one vote in the Senate. Andrew Johnson was the 17th US President, who succeeded to the office in 1865 when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. He was a Democrat elected VP in Lincoln's "National Union" party, and ran afoul of the Radical Republicans in Congress. When he tried to fire a Cabinet member, he was impeached, but not convicted. He privately agreed to let the Republicans run Reconstruction in the South, and was helped by the fact that few wanted the President Pro Tempore (senator Benjamin Wade) to become President.
What effect did Lincoln's assassination have on reconstruction?
Abraham Lincoln first of all was not a Radical Republican. He did desperately want to free and get rid of slavery in America, but he did not want to do it quick. He wanted to show forgiveness to the South. If he didn't, the South would most likely get agitated and cause a rebellion. Lincoln's first step was to readmit the Southern states to the Union. But the only way they could do that was if at least ten percent of voters from each state pledged their legience to the Union. Most of the republicans agreed with lincoln's plan. They thought of it as a quicker and more peaceful solution to end the war. But after Lincoln's assasination, most of the Radical Republicans took over Congress and caused more hatred between both the North and South. The Radical Republicans almost immediately passed the 13th ammendment that abrogated slavery and the 14th ammendment that gave black people their rights.
What are the differences between radicals and moderates?
Moderate republican agreed with Lincoln that the seceded states should be restored to the Union as simply and swiftly as reasonable but only on Congress plans, not the president's. The Radical republicans on the other hand believed that the SOuth needed to be painfully purnished for their sins. The Radical republicans wanted the South's social structure to be uprooted, the planters punished, and the newly emancipated blacks protected by federal power before they could be restored back into the Union.
What were the differences between the Radical and Moderate Republican Party during Reconstruction?
the moderate republicans believed that blacks should not have their rights. The radical republicans had a vision of whites and blacks living in the same community without fighting," even a hundred years later they will still have this same problem, that they solved in the 60's called the civil rights movement and Martin Luther King Jr was a key figure in this issue. Back to the 1800's they both thought they should live together without fighting.
What was the plan of the Radical Republicans did President Abraham Lincoln support?
Lincoln and the Radical Republicans unequivocally agreed on one topic, the abolition of slavery. The policies of the Radical Republicans were an issue of heated debate between Lincoln's ideas of reconstruction, and the Republicans' ideas of reconstruction. Lincoln's ideas of reconstruction were dictated by "kindness". Radical Republicans had proposed the idea of the Ironclad Oath. The Oath required that a person had to swear he had never borne arms against the Union or supported the Confederacy --- that is, he had "never voluntarily borne arms against the United States," had "voluntarily" given "no aid, countenance, counsel or encouragement" to persons in rebellion and had exercised or attempted to exercise the functions of no office under the Confederacy. They also supported the Wade-Davis Bill. The bill made remittance to the Union for former Confederate states contingent on a majority in each Southern state to take the Ironclad Oath to the effect they had never in the past supported the Confederacy. The Wade-Davis Bill passed both the Senate and Congress, but was vetoed by Lincoln. Lincoln wanted the Southern States to reunite with the Union and feared that the Wade Davis bill would prevent unification. At the time the Wade-Davis Bill had passed both houses, there was not a federal bill or proposed amendment to the constitution to end slavery. Therefore, Lincoln knew that any immediate plans for emancipation would have to take place at a state level, in states that the Emancipation Proclamation did not affect. He believed that Wade--Davis would jeopardize state-level emancipation movements in loyal border states.
Why did the house vote to impeach Johnson?
The ostensible reason the Radical Republicans wanted to impeach President Johnson was because he attempted to fire Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton over disagreements about Reconstruction. Stanton was supposed to be protected by the Tenure of Office Act Congress passed in 1867, that prevented the President from removing from office anyone appointed with and by the "advice and consent" of the Senate. Johnson considered the law unconstitutional and ignored it.The US Supreme Court eventually agreed with Johnson in Myers v. United States, 272 US 52 (1926) when the Taft Court held the President has exclusive power to remove executive branch officials without the consent of the Senate or any other legislative body. In retrospect, the Court determined the impeachment proceedings against Johnson constitutionally invalid, but that was not part of the holding in Myers.
