After 1872, the federal government largely abandoned African Americans as it shifted focus away from Reconstruction due to growing political conflict and economic concerns. The Compromise of 1877 effectively ended federal intervention in Southern states, allowing white Democrats to regain control and implement Jim Crow laws that disenfranchised and oppressed African Americans. This withdrawal was influenced by the desire to unify the nation and address economic issues, ultimately sacrificing the rights and protections of Black citizens.
