In what year did the Radical Republicans take over the Reconstruction process?
Hansonc
The Congressional elections of 1866 put Radical Republicans in control of Congress. They set up a free labor economy using the military and the Freedmenâ??s Bureau. Rights of freed slaves were protected, labor contracts were negotiated, schools were set up to make the transition from slave to citizen easier. Many teachers, missionaries, business and politicians came to the south to help run things as well, they were derisively called â??Carpetbaggersâ?? by disgruntled southerners.

What effect did Lincoln's assassination have on reconstruction?
Abraham Lincoln first of all was not a Radical Republican. He did desperately want to free and get rid of slavery in America, but he did not want to do it quick. He wanted to show forgiveness to the South. If he didn't, the South would most likely get agitated and cause a rebellion. Lincoln's first step was to readmit the Southern states to the Union. But the only way they could do that was if at least ten percent of voters from each state pledged their legience to the Union. Most of the republicans agreed with lincoln's plan. They thought of it as a quicker and more peaceful solution to end the war. But after Lincoln's assasination, most of the Radical Republicans took over Congress and caused more hatred between both the North and South. The Radical Republicans almost immediately passed the 13th ammendment that abrogated slavery and the 14th ammendment that gave black people their rights.
