The Amnesty Act of 1872 restored voting rights and political eligibility to most former Confederates in the South. This led to the reintegration of former Confederates into Southern politics and allowed them to regain political influence. As a result, Democrats, who largely represented white Southerners, gained power in the region, leading to the end of Reconstruction and the establishment of white supremacy in Southern politics.
