What was the platform of the Radical Democratic Party?

Answer 1

The platform of the 1864 Radical Democratic Party called for equality for all men regardless of race, and the protection of civil liberties in areas of the North that Lincoln had not placed under martial law. In addition, the platform called for congressional authority of post war reconstruction, instead of presidential control, and the distribution of confiscated plantations to soldiers and resident former slaves. The Radical Democratic Party had one issue in common with the regular Republican party, which was an amendment to the Constitution to abolish slavery.
