Radical republicans who served in the congress during the reconstruction worked to achieve several goals.

Explanation:

Radical republicans were active during the reconstruction period in the United States. The Radical Republican party was formed in 1954 and was part of American politics till 1977. The goal of Radical Republicans was to bring an end to slavery in the South.

They wanted to ensure that former slaves are granted equal rights in all terms. They argued for granting voting rights to freed men. They also strongly opposed the idea of allowing confederate states into the American union.

Radical republicans had to face opposition from Moderate Republicans as well as Democrats.
