Radical Republicans in the United States, particularly during the Reconstruction era following the Civil War, sought to confiscate large plantations and redistribute the land to freedmen. Leaders like Congressman Thaddeus Stevens advocated for land reform as a means to provide economic independence to formerly enslaved individuals.

The U.S. failed to provide land to Freedmen after the Civil War primarily due to political compromises and resistance from Southern landowners who wanted to maintain their economic power. Initial measures, like the Freedmen's Bureau, aimed to redistribute land but were undermined by President Andrew Johnson's leniency towards the South and the return of confiscated lands to former Confederates. Additionally, widespread racism and the lack of sustained commitment from the federal government contributed to the failure to secure land for freed slaves, leaving many in poverty and without resources.
