Detailed explanation-1: -Former Confederates approved of Presidential Reconstruction because it allowed them back into the Union. They disapproved of Radical Reconstruction because it did not want to allow them back into the Union.
Detailed explanation-2: -After 1867, an increasing number of southern whites turned to violence in response to the revolutionary changes of Radical Reconstruction. The Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist organizations targeted local Republican leaders, white and Black, and other African Americans who challenged white authority.
