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.

Military Reconstruction Act?

The U.S. Congress, under the control of the Radical Republicans, passed the Military Reconstruction Act of 1867 on March 7, in spite of President Johnson's veto. This act sought to rebuild the governments of the southern states using the governments of the northern states as examples. It was also implemented to ensure that the civil rights of the free blacks in the South by requiring the states in the South to include the rights of free blacks in their constitutions. The Military Reconstruction Act divided the South into five military districts. Virginia became the first district, North Carolina and South Carolina the second district, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida the third district, Mississippi and Arkansas the fourth district, and Louisiana and Texas the fifth district. These territories were placed under the military control of the United States. The first military commanders had virtually unlimited power. The Military Reconstruction Act also required the southern states to elect new government officials. This is because following the Civil War, the representatives from the South that arrived in the capital to represent their states were the leaders of the Confederacy during the Civil War! The people that had been fighting the Union merely months before had shown up in Washington, D.C. to take their seats in the government. This created many problems because there was too much tension in the government between the southern representatives and the northern representatives. The final term of the Military Reconstruction Act was that the new southern state governments needed to pass the 14th Amendment (which defined citizenship and gave every citizen the right to due process). The Military Reconstruction Act is important to history for many reasons. This act was a way that the Radical Republicans in Congress could punish the southern states that had previously made up the Confederacy. It was also a way that they could ensure rights for the free blacks in the South. The southern Democrats at the end of the Civil War knew that once slavery was abolished, they would need a new way to control wealth and labor in the South so that they could, once again, be the most powerful and influential people in the South. To do this, they had passed "Black Codes", which limited the rights of the free blacks. These codes were different in each state, and they were strongly opposed by the Radical Republicans. The Military Reconstruction Act was a way that the Radical Republicans could ensure the free blacks certain rights, and also punish the southern states for their behavior before and during the Civil War.

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 republicans refuse to let southern representatives take their seats in congress?

Republicans refused to let Southern representatives take their seats in Congress during the Reconstruction era because they were concerned about the loyalty of these representatives to the Union. They wanted to ensure that these representatives would support Reconstruction policies and work towards rebuilding the South in a way that aligned with Republican goals. Additionally, there were concerns about the treatment of newly freed African Americans in the South, and Republicans wanted to protect their rights and ensure their safety.
