It affected the South by removing the Union troops put in place by the Military Reconstruction Act, effectively ending Reconstruction. The South had had many changes enforced during Reconstruction (new state governments, voting rights granted to all men, many reforms that had occurred in the North decades before- education, feminism, temperance, treatment of criminals and the insane), and was forever changed, but Southerners relished the idea of freedom from the somewhat oppressive Northern armies.
