If President Grant was busy with scandals, what is likely to happen to his focus on Reconstructionefforts in the South?
I'm not sure if there was ever an "official" reconstruction period. Generally, "Reconstruction" is applied to federal government policies applied to defeated Southern states as early as 1863. Historians generally agree that Reconstruction policies ended soon after the inauguration (following a razor-thin election) of Rutherford B. Hayes in 1877.
Actually reconstruction ended with the election of Hayes in 1877. The election was a tie and Hayes made a deal with the committee who decided the presidency. The deal was he would end reconstruction and this decision actually affected policy for the next 100 years. By ending reconstruction early the southern states were able to institute Jim Crow Laws which made discrimination an government policy. Without the early end to reconstruction the south may have been a different place and it took the 1964 Civil Rights act to overcome Jim Crow.
The reconstruction efforts would be tedious but worthwhile.

Information about the reconstruction of the States after the American Civil War can be found on a website called Essortment. The local library would also have a selection of books about the Civil War that would have details about the reconstruction efforts.
