﻿ ﻿ The Radical Republicans were led by Representative Thaddeus Stevens and Charles Summer. They wanted to prevent the leaders of the Confederacy from returning to power after the war. They also wanted the Republican Party to become a powerful institution in the South. Most importantly, they wanted the federal government to help African Americans achieve political equality by guaranteeing their right to vote in the South.
