Reconstruction Questions 

Max Miller 

Why did reconstruction end? 

When radical reconstruction was introduced it was met with severe disdain from the south. The south was starting to get violent because white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan were targeting anybody who supported radical reconstruction with acts of violence. As support for reconstruction for the south was loosing momentum, the supremacist groups were able to gain power. These factors contributed to an economic recession in the south. After the recession the democrats were able to gain majority in the house and compromised with the Republican presidential candidate for support in exchange for control of the south this resulted in the end of the reconstruction.
