Final answer:

Amnesty to Confederates and Lincoln's ten-percent law were not supported by Radical Republicans, while the creation of the Freedmen's Bureau and the impeachment of President Johnson were supported. The Black Codes were opposed by Radical Republicans.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the following policies, determine whether they were supported by Radical Republicans.

  • Amnesty to Confederates who took the Oath of Loyalty to the Union: not supported
  • President Lincoln’s ten-percent law: not supported
  • The creation of the Freedmen’s Bureau: supported
  • The Black Codes: not supported
  • The impeachment of President Johnson: supported

Radical Republicans found President Lincoln's Amnesty and Reconstruction plans too lenient, including the ten-percent law which required only ten percent of voters in a Confederate state to take a loyalty oath for the state to be readmitted into the Union. They opposed the policy of offering amnesty to Confederates who took an oath of loyalty. Instead, they supported more stringent measures and the creation of the Freedmen's Bureau to aid former slaves during the transition to freedom. The Black Codes, designed to restrict the freedoms of African Americans, were enacted by Southern states and were firmly opposed by Radical Republicans, who also were in favor of the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson when he came into conflict with Congress over Reconstruction policies.
