Reconstruction brought significant changes to the South, including the establishment of new state governments, the expansion of civil rights for African Americans through the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, and increased federal involvement in Southern affairs. However, many aspects of Southern society remained unchanged, particularly the deep-seated racial attitudes and economic structures rooted in slavery, which persisted through sharecropping and Jim Crow laws. While some African Americans gained political power and education, widespread violence and discrimination continued to limit their rights and opportunities. Ultimately, the legacy of Reconstruction laid a foundation for future civil rights struggles, even as many old patterns endured.

What national issues and attitudes combined to bring an end to reconstruction by 1877?

Two types of national issues and attitudes led to the end of Reconstruction in 1877: political and racial. By 1877, the nation and especially the North had issues unrelated to Reconstruction on its mind. The scandals of the Grant administration, including the "Whiskey Ring" caused good government to be a major issue for many. The Panic of 1873 was still causing economic disruption in 1877, and this economic crash took the focus off Reconstruction. Racial issues and attitudes also helped bring an end to Reconstruction. Many Northern whites were not committed to black equality or rights. By 1877 they were simply tired of taking self-government from Southern whites for the benefit of African Americans.
