d. fully embraced the expanded powers of the federal government born during the Civil War.

Explanation:

adical Republicans were a faction within the United States Republican Party, founded in 1854. During and after the Civil War, they did not get along with the Confederacy's supporters and began to demand, during Reconstruction, severe punishments against ex-rebels. They also demanded legislation that defended racial equality, civil and voting rights, as well as protections and opportunities for ex-slaves.
