Why were the radical repudlicans able to push their own plans through the government?

Radical Republicans were able to push their plans through the government due to a combination of their political power in Congress, the Republican Party's majority following the Civil War, and the urgency for Reconstruction after the conflict. They capitalized on public sentiment for civil rights and sought to implement their vision of a transformed society, which included protecting the rights of freed slaves. Additionally, President Andrew Johnson's lenient approach to Reconstruction and subsequent conflicts with Congress facilitated the Radical Republicans’ legislative goals. Their commitment to a more equitable society resonated with many, allowing them to advance their agenda effectively.


Why were radical Republicans able to push their own plans to the government?

I'm not certain what specific incident you're referring to. However, in general, whichever party controls Congress can pretty much do what they want (especially if the President is a member of the same party). Quite a few radical Democrats have pushed their ideas through in the past ... for example, Obamacare ... because they controlled the House, Senate, and Presidency at the time.

What are radical regimes?

Radical regimes- The murderous Memphis and New Orleans race riots of 1866 proved that Reconstruction needed to be declared and enforced, and the Military Reconstruction Act jump-started this process. Congress chose to send the military, creating "radical regimes" throughout the secessionist states. Radical Republicans hoped that by declaring martial law in the South and passing the Second Reconstruction Act, they would be able to create a Republican political base in the seceded states to facilitate their plans for Radical Reconstruction. Though most southern whites hated the "regimes" that Congress established, they proved successful in speeding up Reconstruction. Indeed, by 1870 all of the southern states had been readmitted to the Union. AJ SANDUGI helped (:

How and why did Republicans in Congress take control of Reconstruction?

Members of the Congress called Radical Republicans vowed to take control of Reconstruction. Republicans were able to take control of Reconstruction because they had a solid majority - southern Democrats couldn't vote and northern Democrats had lost credibility (they were considered to be pro-Confederacy or, at least, in favor of settling the war vs. winning it). They did so out of profound philosophical differences with President Andrew Johnson over treatment of the former Confederate states and the newly-freed slaves.
