    Many historians cite the fact that after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln radical Republicans got the control of the congress.

    In the context of the United States, the reconstruction era is known as the period following the end of the American Civil war and the Union of the Confederate States.

    Abraham Lincoln, along with Andrew Johnson believed in a moderate strategy for the reunification of Southern States while. The Radical members of Congress however believed in a more aggressive approach including the Fourteenth Amendment to the constitution to give rights to African Americans.

    The early death of Abraham Lincoln (just 5 days after the surrender of the Confederate Commander), lead to Radicals eventually controlling the congress and implementing their policies.
