Radical Republicans wanted equal rights for freedmen (freed black slaves) and they also wanted a tougher stance against the south.
Radical Republicans believed black people were entitled to the same rights as everyone else, and believed the Confederates should be punished for going to war with their country. They also wanted to keep Republicans in power in both the North and the South.
The Radical Republicans' plan for Reconstruction sought to fundamentally reshape Southern society and ensure civil rights for freed slaves. They aimed to impose stricter terms on Southern states for rejoining the Union, including the requirement to ratify the 14th Amendment, which granted citizenship and equal protection under the law to former slaves. Additionally, they advocated for significant federal intervention in the South, including the establishment of military districts to oversee the implementation of these reforms and protect the rights of African Americans. Their approach was driven by a commitment to social justice and the belief that the federal government should play a key role in achieving these goals.
The Moral Majority described itself as a political organization with religious goals.
The goals of Reconstruction were only partially successful. While it aimed to rebuild the South, integrate formerly enslaved people into society, and establish civil rights, many of these objectives faced significant resistance and were undermined by systemic racism, the rise of Jim Crow laws, and economic challenges. Although amendments were passed to grant rights to African Americans, lasting change was often thwarted, leading to a century of inequality. Ultimately, while Reconstruction laid important groundwork, its full goals were not achieved.
The geo-political goals were some of the conflicting goals in America during the Cold war.

The radical wing of the Republican Party were termed as such because of their insistence that slavery be abolished without regard to what the consequences might be. They were in fact abolitionists. Moderate Republicans and moderate Democrats understood that an immediate end to slavery might have unpleasant social and economic consequences. During the US Civil War they demanded that the war was fought to end slavery. Moderates sought to unify the Union first and deal with slavery later.
Passing the 13th amendment which was to allow 4 million slaves to be freed was one of the goals of the radical reconstruction. This was one of the feasible one.
The three primary goals of the Radical Republicans were to prevent the leaders of the Confederacy from returning to power; to ensure that the Republicans became a force to be reckoned with in the South; and for the federal government to help African Americans.

Lincoln wanted to mend the splits between the North and the South when the war ended. The first thing he planned to do was to have the former Confederate states concede that their rebellion was wrong and to rejoin the Union. Various steps were thought of by Lincoln to do this but his assassination ended his plans for reconstruction. This led to President Johnson's conflict with the Radical Republicans on Reconstruction.
