Since 1876 the south has largely been democratic politically it has been called the soild south why is that a result of the reconstruction policy?
The former Confederate states believed that the Republican Party, especially the radical wing of the Republicans were responsible for the destruction of the South's bid for independence. This resentment was present before the US Civil War and carried on through well into the 20th Century. The Democratic Party had always been a large one with many Southerners as members. The South's defeat and the Republican control of reconstruction made it impossible for any Republican candidate to win any major election in the South.

How do minor parties play the spoiler role in elections?
Minor and Third parties play roles as spoiler by taking votes from a major candidate. If a third party member leans towards the republican party, then s/he may take votes from independents and moderates that may have otherwise voted for the republican candidate. This will result in the democratic candidate having a better chance of winning because votes for the republican party were split.
Why did the National Republican Parties split into the Democratic-Republican Party?
The question is backward: Jefferson's Democratic-Republican party split into the National Republican Party and the Democratic Party after the Presidential election of 1824. Once the Federalist Party collapsed, the Democratic-Republican party dominated government, but there was a false sense of non-partisanship. The party split into separate factions because some members held onto traditional Democratic-Republican ideology, such as supporting states' rights, while others' beliefs were more in line with the defunct Federalist party. The differences came to a head during the 1824 Presidential election when the party members battled over which candidate to back. As a result, four men ran for President in the 1824 election: John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, William H. Crawford and Henry Clay. None of the candidates received enough electoral votes to win outright, so the decision was sent to the US House of Representatives. Speaker of the House, Henry Clay detested Andrew Jackson, so he dropped out of the race and gave his support to John Quincy Adams, whose views were closer to his own. Adams received the majority of House votes on the first ballot cast, and was named President. Adams, in turn, named Henry Clay his Secretary of State. Jackson, and many of his supporters believed Clay had made a "corrupt bargain," thus creating in-fighting within the Democratic-Republican Party. The differences between the two factions became so obvious that they split into new parties, the National Republicans (John Quincy Adams) and the Democrats (Andrew Johnson). Jackson campaigned against Adams in 1828 by accusing him of corruption, and subsequently defeated Adams for the Presidency.
What major political change happened in the US as a result of the Great Depression?
The New Deal programs of FDR also created a liberal political alliance made up of labor unions, Blacks and other ethnic and religious minorities, intellectuals, the poor, and some farmers. These groups became the backbone of the Democratic Party for decades following the Depression. The South became known as "the Solid South" because it always voted for the democratic candidate. In some areas of the South, the Republican Party did not even register voters who were Republican and there was no Republican organization. This situation lasted until 1964 when Barry Goldwater was nominated as the Republican candidate for president. He received much support in the South.
