Radicalism is a relative concept. If Ronald Reagan had been elected in 1912 he would have been the most radical left-wing president.
Lincoln was elected by a regional minority and the nation dissolved as a direct result of his election. (Because of the perceived radicalism of his views.)
That's big stuff, radical-wise.
