BlakeDuring the US Civil War, the Radical Republicans supported a number of measures they believed were necessary to ensure the war between the states was being properly conducted by the Lincoln Administration. One measure was the Committee on the Conduct of the War.
Another measure was the 1863 conscription laws. Also, they convinced President Lincoln to have the Protestant feast day called Thanksgiving, into a national holiday.
One measure they supported, Lincoln would not even consider. That measure was to rewrite the beginning of the US Constitution to read that the USA was a Christian nation.
They also supported having Confederate leaders prosecuted after the war as men of treason. That measure US Grant flatly told Congress he would never enforce.
