Detailed explanation-1: -The first three of these postwar amendments accomplished the most radical and rapid social and political change in American history: the abolition of slavery (13th) and the granting of equal citizenship (14th) and voting rights (15th) to former slaves, all within a period of five years.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reconstruction (1865-1877), the turbulent era following the Civil War, was the effort to reintegrate Southern states from the Confederacy and 4 million newly-freed people into the United States.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Radicals were known for their opposition to slavery, their efforts to ensure emancipation and civil rights for Blacks, and their strong opinions on post-war Reconstruction. They were also critical towards many policies of both President Abraham Lincoln and his successor, Andrew Johnson.
Detailed explanation-4: -What was the major reason the Radical Republicans opposed President Abraham Lincoln’s Reconstruction plan? The plan granted too many rights to formerly enslaved persons.
