Will obama remain president next elections?
Pollsters indicate that he has lost popularity since he was elected in 2008 and the midterm elections were not good for his party. However he has almost two years to turn things around and the Republicans have not yet identified a candidate that can defeat him.

How did the election of 1877 affect reconstruction?
After the congressional elections of 1866, Republicans maintained enough power to pass their own reconstruction program.Democrats were the politically, economically and militarily defeated representatives of the Confederacy; summarily brought back into the fold of he United States following the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse and the end of The Civil War. The US Military had obliterated the infrastructure of the states that succeeded from the Union. They no longer had any financial or military clout...political clout followed suit.The elections in 1866 had the effect of giving the Northern and (newly) Southern Republicans the power to initiate and control wide-reaching aspects of Reconstruction. Especially WHO would get the contract to do the actual "reconstructing" - hint: it would not be a Southern contractor in most cases.To be a Democrat was to be an old-school, hard-line Southern Man...a pariah. It meant that in Washington, he'd never be trusted. Weak & blunted on the floor of the House and finding few friends on Capitol Hill. The Republicans were the shot-callers in 1866.The process of Reconstruction was set and implemented by the men elected to the legislature. It guaranteed the process would be one of doubt, sorrow, poverty and a now underground-form of hatred - for all those living in the dilapidated, smoldering, crippled South. It enabled Northern Republicans to hit Southern Democrats while they were down. Hit they did; as the South would not see much economic or infrastructural recovery for decades.Reconstruction affected money for the North, continued-defeat, poverty and desperation for the South. Including its newly-freed slaves; who became "sharecroppers" that were slaves in all but official-name 'till the Civil Rights movement a century later.
