After the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Vice President Andrew Johnson, a man with loyalty to the south and no sympathy toward the former slaves, assumed the highest office of the land. He proceeded to remove federal soldiers who were in place to protect former slaves. He allowed the south to both drag their feet in ratifying the Thirteenth Amendment as well as to elect governments, stacked with former confederates. A high number of pardons were given to people who had risen in violent revolt against the country. Once he had done all these as well as gut The Freedman's Bureau, he then abruptly said reconstruction was over.

Concordat of worms
Electing any blacks at all generally depended on the presence of Union troops to ensure that the freedmen were allowed to vote, and that former Confederates were not. Just about every white man in the south had either been in the Confederate service or in the government, so this meant no white voters, so long as the ban on political participation by former Confederates lasted. Only men, whether black or white, could vote (American Indians were not citizens for the most part, and so could not vote either).
One year after leaving office. Called the revolving door policy.
