Best Answer

The Radical Republicans, led by Representative Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania and Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, urged a much harsher course, including disenfranchising large numbers of Southern whites, protecting black civil rights, confiscating the property of the wealthy whites who had aided the Confederacy, and distributing the land among the freedmen.
