Radicals during Reconstruction referred to members of the Radical Republican faction of the Republican Party, who advocated for strong measures to secure civil rights and political representation for freed slaves in the South after the Civil War. They pushed for the Reconstruction Acts, which aimed to impose federal control over Southern states and enforce the rights of African Americans. Their efforts included supporting the 14th and 15th Amendments, which granted citizenship and voting rights to former slaves. Radicals faced significant opposition from Southern whites and moderate Republicans, leading to a contentious political landscape during the Reconstruction era.

Who controlled most of the rebuilding of the country during Reconstruction the President or Congress?

here's a blurb i found when trying to answer this same question for my homework:Radical Reconstruction, also known as Congressional Reconstruction, was the time when congressional Republicans, moderates and Radicals, controlled Reconstruction in the South. Prior to Republican control, Andrew Johnson's Presidential Reconstruction had allowed ex-Confederate leaders to regain power in southern state governments. He lost control over Reconstruction when congressional elections in the fall of 1866 led to a two-thirds majority of Republicans in both houses of Congress. When the Fortieth Congress returned in March 1867, presidential Reconstruction ended.Hope that helped you!!
