Detailed explanation-1: -The Radicals felt strongly that the Confederates needed to be punished for their pro-slavery views and should only be readmitted to the Union after they had abolished slavery among other conditions. They believed that government intervention in states was necessary to ensure abolition and civil rights for Blacks.
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.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The three policies that the Radical Republicans proposed for Reconstruction were land redistribution and $100 to build a new house, jobs, and education. Given what was going on in the country at the time, why might Democrats have opposed these plans?
