  • The Radical Republicans were a group of people within the Republican Party during the mid to late 19th Century when the Republicans were still Liberal. This group of Republicans had become radicalized by the strife before and during the American Civil War, and were extremely passionate and uncompromising in their convictions. The original Radical Republicans were a movement of the political Left Wing, as opposed to the Radicalized Republicans of today. Like the Radicalized Republicans of today, the original Radical Republicans were passionate in their convictions, unwilling to compromise their beliefs, and willing to ignore the Constitution and rule of law in order to achieve their goals. As is the case with today's Radical Republicans, there was an element of Christian conviction involved in the uncompromising attitude and willingness to punish those whom they saw as outside the fold. The original Radical Republicans were able to achieve some very important and meaningful changes in American politics and society, but unfortunately they created a Radicalization of their opponents which still persists.
