Radical Republicans’ Plan Leader Thaddeus Stevens Believed the States did secede Wanted to punish the Southern States for the rebellion

Southern Punishment Freedmen’s Bureau - provided food, medicine, and education to freed Blacks 14th Amendment – defined citizenship to include former slaves; banned discrimination
