Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
1) They had very different views on Reconstruction!. They thought Johnson was too soft on Southerners!.

2) They voted for the first time!. Some even ran for elected office!. Many became educated which was illegal for blacks as slaves!.

3) When Congress was satisfied that a state had met the demands for re-entry into the Union, then Military rule over that state was lifted and power was fully returned to the state government!. At this point Republicans and especially Blacks lost their influence in politics for the next 100 years!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
