Detailed explanation-1: -The Radical Republicans opposed Lincoln’s terms for reuniting the United States during Reconstruction (1863), which they viewed as too lenient.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Reconstruction Acts were a renewed effort by the Radical Republicans to take control of reintegrating the previous Confederate states through harsher measures.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Radical Republicans’ most important measures were contained in the Reconstruction Acts of 1867 and 1868, which placed the Southern states under military government and required universal manhood suffrage. Despite the Radical program, however, white control over Southern state governments was gradually restored.
