2. Radical Republicans: wanted to punish the south for its role in starting the long and expensive civil war.
3. President Lincoln: sought to maintain the Republican Party’s powerful position by exercising strict controls on the South.
Step-by-step explanation:
The American Civil War was also referred to as War between the States and it was fought from the 12th of April, 1861 to the 9th of April, 1865. The war was simply between the Southern states that seceded to form Confederate States and the Northern states that were still loyal to the Union.
After the American Civil War, the turbulent era in which efforts were made by the government of the United States of America to reintegrate the Southern states from the Confederacy was known as the Reconstruction era, and it began on the 8th of December, 1863 to 31st of March, 1877.
After Reconstruction, Southern leaders in states such as Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, etc., introduced laws that segregated communities based on race.
1. President Abraham Lincoln: advocated for relatively quick and easy ways to bring the South (Confederacy) back into the Union by introducing a reconstruction plan.
2. Radical Republicans: wanted to punish the south for its role in starting the long and expensive civil war. Also, the Radical Republicans advocated that the Southern states (Confederates) should be forcefully reformed socially and politically through reconstruction.
3. President Abraham Lincoln: sought to maintain the Republican Party’s powerful position by exercising strict controls on the South (Confederacy).
On the 22nd of September, 1862, President Lincoln issued an executive order during the Civil War, which was known as the Emancipation Proclamation or Proclamation 95.
He issued the Emancipation Proclamation to set all persons who were held as slaves in the rebellious Southern states (Confederacy) free.
