The Radical Republicans rejected Presidential Reconstruction for a few reasons. One of the main reasons was that they believed it kept the Southern states separate from the Union for too long. To understand this, we need to look at the context of Reconstruction after the American Civil War.
Presidential Reconstruction, which took place from 1865 to 1867, was initiated by President Andrew Johnson after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Johnson's approach to Reconstruction was relatively lenient towards the Southern states, which had seceded from the Union during the Civil War.
The Radical Republicans, however, disagreed with Johnson's leniency and believed that the Confederacy should face harsher consequences for their actions. They advocated for a more stringent approach to Reconstruction that would ensure the rights and protection of newly freed African Americans.
In addition to believing that Presidential Reconstruction prolonged the separation of the Southern states from the Union, the Radical Republicans also objected to the fact that it provided too much government assistance to African Americans. They believed that African Americans should be granted full citizenship rights and equal protection under the law, rather than being treated as dependents of the government.
Furthermore, the Radical Republicans argued that Presidential Reconstruction was too easy on the Southern secessionists. They believed that former Confederates should face more severe punishment and be held accountable for their actions during the Civil War.
Lastly, the Radical Republicans saw Presidential Reconstruction as unfair to former Confederates. They believed that it did not do enough to protect the rights of African Americans or to ensure that the South would not revert back to its pre-Civil War state of inequality and oppression.
In summary, the Radical Republicans rejected Presidential Reconstruction because they felt it kept the Southern states separate from the Union for too long, provided excessive government assistance to African Americans, was too lenient on the Southern secessionists, and was unfair to former Confederates.
