Question

What was the primary goal of the radical Republicans reform programs?

1. Can you prevent freed slaves from owning land after the Civil War
2. To establish equality under the law of freed African-Americans
3. To recognize outstanding military leaders of the confederacy
4. To restore white southern representation in Congress.

Answer 1

If I remember correctly it was #2. The radical republicans wanted to punish confederate leaders so #3 is wrong. They did not want white southern representation in congress so #4 is wrong. And the democrats wanted to prevent freed slaves from owning land. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

2. To establish equality under the law of freed African-Americans

Explanation:

The most radical faction of the Republican party won power after the southern states would create laws that were harsh on the newly freed african american, radical reconstruction began in 1867 and it gave african americans voice and representation both in state and federal congress and in the house, this was great advance that was later blocked by reactionary groups like the Ku kux klan and that reaction to radical reconstruction provoked white supremacy in southern states.
