Answer:

a. There were many reconstruction measures implemented by radical republicans in congress in regards to both readmission of rebel states into the union and on freedmen’s situations. In regards to readmission, the Radical Republicans wanted to deny southern congressmen their seats, they wanted to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1866, they wanted to pack a martial law in the South and the 14th Amendment. In regards to freedmen social, political and economic situations, the Radical Republicans wished to help African Americans earn more rights. To do this they created things like the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments.

b. The Radical Republicans and Johnson did not get along. While they wanted greater rights for African-Americans, Johnson opposed and vetoed about 20 reconstruction bills. Due to his actions Congress overturned several of his vetoes and even considered impeachment. This is because he was violating the Tenure Act, criticizing the Congress and abusing his presidential powers.
