The goals of the Radical Republicans were to provide greater equality for African Americans; to punish Southern states for secession; and to have Congress, not the president, establish the guidelines for Reconstruction.

Explanation:

Radical Republicans were a faction within the Republican Party, which for some time functioned as a separate political party. Radical Republicans were active between 1858 and 1877.

The wing began to form in the Republican Party after the Congressional elections in 1858. Their priority was to abolish slavery without paying compensation to slave owners. During the Civil War, they pressed for the resignation of General George McClellan and encouraged the creation of troops made up of black soldiers. They criticized President Abraham Lincoln, arguing that he did not show sufficient resolve on abolitionism. In 1864, Lincoln presented a plan for gentle reconstruction of the country, which assumed the exclusion of only the most ardent secessionists from the state legislatures and the restoration of Confederate states to the Union under the control of the president. In addition, he demanded the oath of loyalty for the Union only from 10% of the state electorate. Radical Republicans then submitted a counter-proposal by Benjamin Wade and Henry Winter Davis, which assumed much further exclusion from the legislatures and the requirement of a major oath of loyalty to the rebellious states. The president rejected the bill, which resulted in the radical wing being cut off from the center of executive power.
