Outrage in the North over these codes eroded support for the approach known as Presidential Reconstruction and led to the triumph of the more radical wing of the Republican Party. During Radical Reconstruction, which began in 1867, newly enfranchised blacks gained a voice in government for the first time in American history, winning election to southern state legislatures and even to the U.S. Congress.

Answer:
The Democrats in the south in the late 1800s were united by the goal of preventing black people from voting after the Reconstruction.
Explanation:
Southern Democrats were white men that believed in an equal political policy for all white men (opposed to the supremacy of elites, that is, reduced groups of powerful men). This was called Jacksonian Democracy since it was promoted by the seventh American president Andrew Jackson.

During this period slavery was ended and all former slaves were given certain civil rights. Before this era, especially during the first part of the 1800s, the Democrats promoted the expansion of slavery.
