Radical Reconstruction
"Reconstruction" is a work by Thaddeus Stevens. He had practiced law before starting doing political affairs. Himself, and some other citizens of America strongly counteracted polices given by Southern Reconstruction Lincoln or Andrew Johnson. He was one of those who powerfully fought against the slavery and one of those who suffered about their antislavery belief. He quitted his first seat in the United States House of Representatives but latterly he was returned by the younger of two political parties (Republican party) to the meeting e.g. Congress.
