President Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Abraham Lincoln, initially supported a lenient approach to Reconstruction but faced opposition from Radical Republicans in Congress. The Radical Reconstruction plan, which aimed to impose stricter measures on the Southern states and ensure civil rights for freed slaves, was largely driven by Congress rather than Johnson himself. Ultimately, his resistance to the Radical Reconstruction efforts led to his impeachment in 1868.

The attemps of the Radical Republicans to control reconstruction policy were successful
Radical Republicans were more successful in advancing their cause during the Reconstruction era, as they implemented significant reforms aimed at establishing civil rights for freed slaves and restructuring Southern society. Their passage of the Reconstruction Amendments (13th, 14th, and 15th) laid the groundwork for legal equality. In contrast, Southern governments often resisted these changes, enacting Black Codes and other discriminatory laws to maintain white supremacy and control over African Americans. Ultimately, while Southern governments sought to regain power, the Radical Republicans made lasting impacts on civil rights and federal authority.
Because it meant the wholesale replacement of the governments and political institutions of the Southern states (initially by military governors), and the establishment of governments that repudiated the Confederacy. It did not compensate slaveowners for their lost labor force, and deprived many ex-Confederates of their ability to vote or to run for public office.
White southerners who cooperated with radical recontruction were called "scalawags". I'm sorry they are not called radicals.
President Andrew Jackson restricted African American rights during reconstruction. Blacks were excluded from southern politics. Radical Reconstruction occurred from 1867 to 1877

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 (:
This informal understanding marked the end of Radical Reconstruction
The three phases of Reconstruction were Presidential Reconstruction, Radical Reconstruction, and Redemption. Presidential Reconstruction, led by Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson, aimed for a quick reintegration of Southern states with lenient policies. Radical Reconstruction, driven by Congress, sought to impose stricter terms on the South, including civil rights protections and military oversight. Finally, Redemption marked the period when Southern Democrats regained control, often leading to the disenfranchisement of Black voters and the establishment of Jim Crow laws.
Less severe type of reconstruction than radical reconstruction.
The coalition of southern Democrats referred to as the "Redeemers" succeeded in getting the federal government to remove the remaining troops from the South beginning in 1877. Northern Republicans saw some states as "unredeemed" because they used various tactics to obstruct the Reconstruction governments instituted in the South, and to keep former slaves politically weak.
The Radical Republican plan for Reconstruction sought to impose stricter measures on the Southern states, emphasizing civil rights for freed slaves and requiring their adherence to the 14th and 15th Amendments before rejoining the Union. In contrast, President Andrew Johnson's plan was more lenient, allowing Southern states to re-establish their governments quickly with minimal federal intervention, and he prioritized swift reconciliation over protecting the rights of African Americans. This fundamental difference led to significant political conflict between Congress and the presidency during the Reconstruction era.
