what was true of the radical republicans plan for the south?

a. it put them in conflict with president johnson.

b. it made the northern states angry.

c. it failed to take shape.

d. it was well liked in the southern states.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Radical Republicans (like Thaddeus Stevens) had a more punitive Reconstruction plan for the South, while President Andrew Johnson favored a more lenient approach (e.g., quickly readmitting Southern states with minimal requirements). This led to conflict between them (e.g., over the Freedmen's Bureau, Civil Rights Act, and impeachment).
• Option B: The Radical Republicans' plan was generally supported by the North, especially those wanting to protect freedmen and punish the South for secession.
• Option C: The Radical Republicans' plan did take shape (e.g., Reconstruction Acts, 14th/15th Amendments, military occupation of the South) despite Johnson's opposition.
• Option D: The Radical Republicans' plan (military rule, disfranchisement of ex - Confederates, rights for freedmen) was highly unpopular in the South, leading to resistance like the rise of the Ku Klux Klan.

Answer:

A. It put them in conflict with President Johnson.
