At the end of the Civil War, the infrastructure of the South had been destroyed.

The newly enfranchised former slaves did not understand the political structure.

The former Confederate Solders were disenfranchised but were well trained in the techniques of war. They were willing to use military techniques against their former slaves.

Northern Solders were housed in southern homes. These solders were from the dregs of society. When they left the houses, they abandoned the children they had fathered. That caused hard feelings.

The desire of congress to punish confederate solders caused chaos in the South.
