Abstract

The Zealots were an alliance of five United States Senators and Representatives who led the radical wing of the Republican Party from the years 1860 to 1868. They clashed with President Lincoln over emancipation and how the Civil War was conducted, overcame the hostility of President Johnson and finally imposed on the South, a reconstruction plan of their own. Chronicled here is how the five radical leaders by aggressively working in concert became the driving Congressional force in the prosecution of the War.
