After the Civil War the south was demolished and in horrible conditions. The people were suffering with little money, food, clothing, and shelter. The Wade Davis bill was proposed which basically stated that the Reconstruction of the south need to start happening. Reconstruction took place from 1865-1877. Many people cooperated with this duty and task, but a certain group of people called the Radical Republicans did not like this idea because they thought the South should be punished for starting the war.
