Yes.
The federal government controlled the Confederate states during Reconstruction.
The Reconstruction era in the South was marked by significant corruption in state governments, as many newly elected officials engaged in graft and mismanagement. Factors such as the influx of Northern opportunists (often called " carpetbaggers") and Southern Republicans (often referred to as "scalawags") contributed to a political environment rife with corruption. While some efforts were made to rebuild and modernize the South, the exploitation of public funds and widespread bribery undermined the effectiveness of Reconstruction policies. Ultimately, this corruption fueled resentment among Southern whites and contributed to the eventual collapse of Reconstruction efforts.

Andrew Johnson served until March 4,1869 and was replaced by Grant who served until March 4, 1877 . There were still vestiges of the Reconstruction government when Hayes succeeded Grant as president, but most of the Reconstruction Era was under Johnson and Grant. Grant was unable to achieve his goals reconstructing the South because of corruption.
Increased anger about government corruption can lead to skepticism and distrust in public institutions, making citizens less likely to support government-led initiatives, including reconstruction efforts in the South. When people perceive government officials as self-serving or dishonest, they may doubt the sincerity and effectiveness of proposed reconstruction projects. This disillusionment can foster apathy or opposition, as individuals may feel that their needs are better addressed through community-level efforts rather than relying on a corrupt government. Ultimately, such sentiments can undermine collective support and participation in reconstruction initiatives.
