Reconstruction is often viewed as a failure due to several factors, including widespread resistance from Southern whites who sought to maintain white supremacy through violence and intimidation, exemplified by groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Economic challenges, including the lack of land reform and the persistence of sharecropping, prevented significant improvements in the lives of newly freed African Americans. Additionally, waning political will in the North, particularly after the contested election of 1876, led to the withdrawal of federal troops and support, effectively abandoning the goals of Reconstruction and allowing Southern states to enact discriminatory laws, known as Jim Crow laws.
