When did reconstruction start after the civil war in America?

It started just as soon as the northern carpetbaggers and scalawags could get here and begin their goal of making money off the devastation of the South. They had no "reconstruction" in mind, just making of personal wealth. South would have recovered much faster if the reconstruction people from the north had stayed at home.


What national issues and attitudes combined to bring an end to reconstruction by 1877?

Two types of national issues and attitudes led to the end of Reconstruction in 1877: political and racial. By 1877, the nation and especially the North had issues unrelated to Reconstruction on its mind. The scandals of the Grant administration, including the "Whiskey Ring" caused good government to be a major issue for many. The Panic of 1873 was still causing economic disruption in 1877, and this economic crash took the focus off Reconstruction. Racial issues and attitudes also helped bring an end to Reconstruction. Many Northern whites were not committed to black equality or rights. By 1877 they were simply tired of taking self-government from Southern whites for the benefit of African Americans.


What regimes in the reconstruction did southern whites disapprove of?

The South had lost a war they had claimed was impossible to lose, and felt angry and humiliated. As a result, there was more than a small amount of resentment, and they didn't like anything at all about Reconstruction. Anything about the former slaves and their rights set them off, so they were against the Reconstruction Amendments that freed the slaves, made them citizens, and gave black men the right to vote. The presence of the Union Army, which had destroyed their cause was another thorny issue, and they hated the military districts that had been set up. Finally, they resented the actions being demanded of them to return to the Union and become US citizens again. .


Were all carpetbaggers bad?

Southerners hated carpetbaggers for one main reason: they profited from their misfortune. While the south was struggling with reconstruction, the carpetbaggers were milking the bad situation at the south's expense... Current challenges this notion by proclaiming that, because of reconstruction, the South was new and open land to explore for northerners who before were so opposed to slavery as to ever set foot in southern territory. The fact that they were making a quick buck... well they also have families to feed! If they make a living off of selling property from a "nation" which was currently under construction, then so be it. The southerners were simply pissy because they lost and slavery is abolished. As they continually see "carpetbaggers" and "scallawags" making a living off of what they feel is rightfully theirs, they are bound to be miffed.
