Question

Make this shorter and easy worded

Radical Republicans
Radical Republicans wanted to remake the South so it would protect freed people and become part of a fair national economy. They pushed strong federal laws and amendments to guarantee civil rights and voting for African Americans, and they supported using federal power (and sometimes land or aid) to help freedpeople become independent. They favored punishing or blocking former Confederate leaders from returning to power until the South accepted these changes.

Moderates (National Union Party)
Moderates wanted the Southern states brought back into the Union quickly and the economy put back on its feet, but with less sweeping social change than the Radicals wanted. They accepted some protections for freed people (like the end of slavery and limited civil laws) but generally preferred lenient terms, loyalty oaths, and local control over harsh federal intervention. They tended to favor pardons and a faster return of former Confederate officials to political life once states met basic conditions.

Democrats
Southern and many Northern Democrats wanted the states restored to self-rule with as little federal interference as possible so the local economy and elites could recover. They opposed strong federal civil-rights laws for African Americans and worked to limit voting and political power for freedpeople. They also pushed for full amnesty and a quick restoration of political rights to former Confederate leaders.
