Answer:
2. To establish equality under the law of freed African-Americans
Step-by-step explanation:
The most radical faction of the Republican party won power after the southern states would create laws that were harsh on the newly freed african american, radical reconstruction began in 1867 and it gave african americans voice and representation both in state and federal congress and in the house, this was great advance that was later blocked by reactionary groups like the Ku kux klan and that reaction to radical reconstruction provoked white supremacy in southern states.
