After Lincoln's assassination, Johnson, a Democrat, took office. Johnson favored a lenient Reconstruction, while Radical Republicans wanted to continue the military occupation of the South and force Southern states to give freedmen (the newly-freed slaves) civil rights (and the right to vote). This was considered the Reconstruction Era of the United States. Once in office, Johnson decided to veto all of the Radical Republican congressional laws.
Thus, the 1866 House of Representatives elections were a decisive event in the early Reconstruction era. The Republicans won in a landslide, capturing enough seats to override Johnson's vetoes.
