Answer 1

(C) As a means of punishing the SouthDuring the Reconstruction era following the Civil War, many members of Congress, particularly the Radical Republicans, viewed Reconstruction as a way to punish the Southern states for their role in the war and to ensure that the rights of newly freed African Americans were protected. They sought to implement measures that would transform Southern society and prevent former Confederates from regaining power.
