Answer 1

As the Civil War ended, the action was supported by President Abraham Lincoln and the Radical Republicans was (1) abolishing the institution of slavery by a constitutional amendment. Both Lincoln and Radical Republicans harshly opposed slavery, and the Radical Republicans were deeply skeptical of Confederate leaders and wanted stronger punishments for them than Lincoln gave them.
