Booth's actions adversely affected the Reconstruction of the south by making a no college education southerner America's president which was very bad about it. This President strengthened Congress probably without even knowing it. Southern states passed "Black Codes" restricted interracial marriage and condemning them to one town which enraged Congress. Congress than passed the Reconstruction act which did not allow states back into the union until they ratified the 14th amendment that all people including African Americans and citizens that were born in the United States or naturalized were citizens of the United States of America.

How did the Compromise of 1877 affect Reconstruction in the US?

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.


How did the end of reconstruction era affect African-Americans?

The end of the Reconstruction era in 1877 marked a significant setback for African Americans, as it led to the withdrawal of federal troops from the South and the dismantling of protective measures. This resulted in the rise of Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial segregation and disenfranchised Black voters through measures like literacy tests and poll taxes. Consequently, African Americans faced increased violence, discrimination, and economic hardships, undermining their civil rights and social progress achieved during Reconstruction. The legacy of this period set the stage for systemic racism that persisted well into the 20th century.
