The Radical Republicans were indeed the radical wing of the new Republican Party. Abraham Lincoln needed their support to win the 1860 presidential election. He also needed their support to carry on the US Civil War. Many of the radicals wanted the war to be one to end slavery. Lincoln was a moderate Republican when compared to the radicals. His first goal was to keep the US untied and to wage a war to do so. He believed the slavery issue could be solved after the states were re-united. He later used the Emancipation Proclamation as a war measure to disrupt the Southern war effort. US slave border states were not included in the Emancipation. War Democrats and the Radical Republicans both criticized the performance of President Lincoln during the war.
