The Radical Republicans were a faction of American politicians within the Republican Party from about 1854 (before the American Civil War) until the end of Reconstruction in 1877. They called themselves radicals and were opposed during the war by moderates and conservative factions led by Abraham Lincoln and after the war by self-styled conservatives (in the South) and liberals (in the North).
