A radical group of republicans in Congress who wanted revenge on the South. Lincoln was assassinated before his ideas regarding reconstruction could be developed. Andrew Johnson who was his successor, was threatened with impeachment and thwarted by the radicals for agreeing with Lincoln that the Southern states should be forgiven and pardoned to reunite all the states as quickly as possible.
