Question

College board Discuss the political, economic, and social reforms introduced in the South between 1864 and 1877. To what extent did these reforms survive the Compromise of 1877?

Answer 1

Answer:

The President elected, Rutherford B. Hayes, through the 1877 Compromise, ended the Reconstruction and withdrew federal troops from the south, paving the way for a return to racial repression against blacks and a return to white political and social supremacy across southern united states

However, since African Americans had already gained their freedom, little demand existed for the prolongation of northern military intervention in the South. The initial structure of the Human Rights Acts began to deteriorate rapidly. Many of the laws in the Civil Rights Acts were removed from the American government by the Supreme Court, near the end of the 19th century. In addition, the law that established the citizenship of African Americans would now apply to companies, instead of African Americans. A Congress instituted and controlled by southerners came to approve the total segregation of whites and African Americans, from public places to the conduct of commerce, thus effectively rejecting the Civil Rights Act of 1875.
