Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Radical Republicans in Congress were angered by Johnson's actions. They refused to allow Southern representatives and senators to take their seats in Congress. In 1866, Congress passed the Civil Rights Bill, which granted African Americans equal protection under the law with whites.
