What was the goal Radical Republicans had during Reconstruction?

The Radical Republicans aimed to transform Southern society after the Civil War by ensuring civil rights and political power for freed slaves. They sought to implement strict measures for Southern states' readmission into the Union, including the establishment of military rule and the passage of the 14th and 15th Amendments to secure citizenship and voting rights for African Americans. Their overarching goal was to promote equality and prevent former Confederates from regaining power.
