Answer to Question 1

Answer: Civil Rights Act

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Define the radical Republicans as members of both houses of Congress, many of them abolitionists before the Civil War, and military officers during the war, who wanted to punish the South for murder, treason, slavery and rebellion.
2. Define most white American men, in particular, as political and racist; many thought that blacks should remain as second class servants to whites in the U.S. forever. They also believed that God made blacks inferior to whites.
3. Explain that a minority of whites, such as radical Republicans, believed that blacks should become citizens and receive political equality. Even smaller numbers felt that social equality should be accorded to blacks.
