To understand the end of Reconstruction, it's important to take the following facts into account:
- 1872: The General Amnesty Act was passed by the Congress. This act removed restrictions placed upon Confederate officials.
- 1873: the Fourteenth Amendment was scarcely interpreted in the Slaughterhouse cases. This meant that state law was violationg individuals' civil rights.
- 1875: The Civil Rights Act of this year, which allowed black people to be part of a jury and which didn't allow racial discrimination in public places, was eventually not enforced.
- Finally in 1876 the idea of the Reconstruction was left aside by both parties and in 1883 the Civil Rights Act was declared unconstitutional.
All of these reasons, caused the end of the Reconstruction and made Republicans forsake black people, finally causing the infringement of civil rights and full segregation.
The main reason why President Johnson was unable to stop radical Republicans from putting the reconstruction plan into action is because he simply lacked a congressional majority of backs for his plan.

Political parties are fundamental pieces for political plurality. In modern democracies, parties have become the gears of political conflict, generate it, contain it and, as the case may be, solve it. The opportunities for electoral participation have been framed by the decision of the parties and, to this extent, questions such as political culture depend on the perception of the citizenship on the partisan environment. We also see that after choosing representatives of the people, a very important tool that people have is to write to them or show their inclinations to certain projects by different trucks, such as a letter, a note in a newspaper or magazine or through internet pages.
