Question

How were former Confederate leaders treated under the Radical Reconstruction plan?

Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Confederate leaders could not hold public office

Step-by-step explanation:

Radical Republicans thought that Lincoln’s plan for Reconstruction was not severe enough because, from their belief, the South was blameworthy of causing the war and justified to be punished as such.

Radical Republicans believed to regulate the process of Reconstruction, reconstruct Southern society, dismiss the planter aristocracy, land reforms, improve the industry, and guarantee civil rights for former slaves.
