Radical Republicans also wanted to punish the south for starting the war and the fact that they were causing too much destruction, and destroyed the economy

Answer:

Because they had destroyed the economy

Step-by-step explanation:

They were punished because they had caused so much destruction they were forced to pay a fine and help with the reconstruction era.
