The term "Radical Rebels" does not seem to correspond to a well-known historical group or movement. However, if you're referring to the Radical Republicans, they were a faction of the Republican Party during and after the American Civil War that advocated for the rights of freed slaves and the reconstruction of the Southern states.

After the Civil War, martial law was implemented in Southern states as part of the Reconstruction efforts to maintain order and enforce civil rights for newly freed African Americans. The Radical Republicans played a significant role in the Reconstruction process, which included military oversight in the South.

The removal of martial law and the end of Reconstruction policies occurred in the late 1870s, particularly with the Compromise of 1877. This compromise effectively ended federal involvement in Southern politics, leading to the withdrawal of federal troops from the South and the cessation of martial law.

In summary, it was not the Radical Republicans who removed martial law, but rather the political compromises and shifts in policy in the latter part of the 19th century that led to its end.
