Radical Reconstruction, also called Congressional Reconstruction, process and period of Reconstruction during which the Radical Republicans in the U.S. Congress seized control of Reconstruction from Pres. Andrew Johnson and passed the Reconstruction Acts of 1867–68, which sent federal troops to the South to oversee the establishment of state governments that were more democratic. Congress also enacted legislation and amended the Constitution to guarantee the civil rights of freedmen and African Americans in general.

Context: Reconstruction Acts
In the 1866 mid-term congressional elections, voters in the North resoundingly rejected Johnson’s Presidential Reconstruction policies, and Congress, dominated by Radical Republicans, decided to restart Reconstruction. The Reconstruction Acts of 1867 split the states of the former Confederacy into five military districts and specified how new governments—based on manhood suffrage without regard to race—were to be constituted. Thus began Radical Reconstruction, which lasted until the demise of the last Republican-led Southern governments in 1877.

African American political leaders (including individuals who had been free before the Civil War, artisans, Civil War veterans, and formerly enslaved ministers) advocated for the elimination of the racial caste system and the economic uplift of the formerly enslaved individuals. Throughout the South, more than 600 African Americans served in state legislatures, and hundreds more held local offices from sheriff to justice of the peace. Moreover, 16 African Americans served in Congress during Reconstruction, including two U.S. senators, Hiram Revels and Blanche K. Bruce. Although the ascension of African Americans to positions of political power marked a dramatic break with the country’s traditions and aroused deep-seated hostility from the opponents of Reconstruction, so-called “black supremacy” never existed.

Reconstruction governments served the expanding citizenry by establishing the South’s first state-funded public school systems, seeking to strengthen the bargaining power of plantation labourers, making taxation more equitable, and outlawing racial discrimination in public transportation and accommodations. In the hope of creating a “New South” whose economic growth would benefit both blacks and whites, the governments also made available considerable funding for railroads and other enterprises. However, those economic programs spawned corruption and rising taxes, which alienated more and more white voters.

How did the Fourth Crusade contribute to further division within Christianity?
Answer:
The Fourth Crusade contributed to further division within Christianity, as the Crusade was called upon to aid the Eastern Christians in retaking and holding onto the Holy Land. However, the Western Christians, on their march towards the Holy Land, instead decided to attack and loot Constantinople following a failed Crusader-back coup. This led to broken relations between the East and Western Christians, as not only has the Crusade failed in its original purpose, but it also fragmented the power structure of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Your commander, Lieutenant Major Reginald Brighton, wants a full report on what is happening in the United States. Specifically, he needs information on the Articles of Confederation, and he wants to know why a stronger government is necessary for the country to survive. In your confidential letter of at least two paragraphs, be sure to include the following elements:
A formal tone used for writing, as you are addressing your commander
A heading or title including a date and greeting to the commander (for example, “Confidential Letter, December 1786.”)
First paragraph:
An explanation of the powers that Congress has under the Articles of Confederation
A list of the strengths of the new government under the Articles of Confederation
A list of the weaknesses of the new government under the Articles of Confederation
Examples of how people have reacted to the new government
Second paragraph:
An explanation of why a new, stronger government is necessary
If you do well, your commander may reward you with a promotion. After all, your mission is for the glory of Great Britain, which was humiliated by its defeat in the Revolutionary War. The commander is detail oriented and will want as many facts as possible.
Answer:
Shays' Rebellion was led by Daniel Shay and Job Shattuck to overthrow the government, which was still going along with the Articles of Confederation, it happened a bit later than the date you said though.
The Articles of Confederation gave the states more power over the government, which could be considered both a pro and con, as it made the government weaker. But don't blame them too hard, they had just broke free from King George III for the exact reason of overpowered government, or monarchy.
Under the Articles, Congress had the power to establish laws, declare wars, and had control of the postal service. However, they were unable to enforce laws, also able to make peace, etc.
Both businessmen and farmers alike were upset with the system the new government had, so there's that.
It's probably best that they changed the government's ways to give themselves more power because you can't really trust every state to make the right decision. With a stronger government, there are also stronger laws.
