Lincoln wanted the readmission of the ex-confederate states to happen as quickly as possible. Many felt that Lincoln's reconstruction policy was not harsh enough.
That is not true...when the representatives of the defeated Confederate states went to Congress in late 1865, they were turned away. It was not until their states had ratified the 13th and 14th amendments to the Constitution were the representatives allowed to return to the US Congress.
Lincoln had several goals that he wanted to accomplish with Reconstruction. He wanted to rebuild the South's economy, homes, and bring the country back together. He also wished to help the newly freed slaves. The popular phrase for this assistance for these slaves was "forty acres and a mule," and it was highly resented by white people.
The political group that advocated for stricter requirements for Southern states to rejoin the Union was the Radical Republicans. They sought to impose more rigorous conditions on the readmission of these states following the Civil War, emphasizing civil rights for freed slaves and ensuring loyalty to the Union. Their efforts were part of a broader Reconstruction policy aimed at transforming Southern society and politics.
