Explanation:

The Radical Republicans were a dominant faction in the Congress of the United States during the Civil War. They promoted slave abolition and insisting on harsh punishments for the South after the war during the Reconstruction era. The Radical Republicans backed the Wade-Davis Bill, which proposed more strict guidelines for the re-entry of states into the Union, believing Lincoln's proposals were much too lenient.
