Explain how the swing around the circle affected radical republicans attitudes toward johnson

Andrew Johnson was not a Republican but a Tennessee Democrat. Soon Johnson came into conflict with the radical Republicans (the majority sector of the Republican Party) who wanted to punish the Southern States for their past rebellion, and also wanted to impose their radical reforms in relation to former slaves.

The southern states did not want to grant full citizenship to the blacks who had been slaves and Johnson did not want to force them; the US Congress, dominated by the radical republicans, passed over the authority of the President and used the Army to impose provisional governments in the ex rebel states. It also aprooved the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the US Constitution to guarantee equality between whites and blacks (including the right to vote for blacks); and forced the southern states to ratify them. Johnson vetoed the measures, but Congress rejected his vetoes and even tried to dismiss him.

Johnson undertook the speaking tour in the face of increasing opposition in the northern states and in Washington to his lenient form of reconstruction in the South, which had led the southern states largely to revert the social system that had predominated before the Civil War. Although he believed he could regain the trust of moderate northern Republicans by exploiting tensions between them and their Radical counterparts on the tour, Johnson only alienated them more.

The disastrous speaking campaign carried out by Johnson increased the opposition against him, who left the White House in 1868 to a Republican candidate.
