Answer:

Moderate Republicans were appalled at Johnson's racism. They joined with the Radicals to overturn Johnson's Civil Rights Act veto. The Radicals hoped that the Civil Rights Act would lead to an active federal judiciary with courts enforcing rights. Congress then turned its attention to amending the Constitution.
