Radical Reconstruction was facilitated by the political dominance of the Republican Party, which held a majority in Congress after the Civil War, allowing them to implement significant changes in the Southern states. The desire to secure civil rights for freed slaves and to punish the former Confederate states for their rebellion played a critical role.

The presence of Union troops in the South also ensured compliance with these new policies.
