Explanation:
A variety of factors led to the Collapse of the Reconstruction period. Factors such as the Supreme Court rulings. These involved extremely short sighted - and limited rulings involving the civil liberties of African-Americans.
Another defining factor was the weakening and eventual end of the Freedman's Bureau. The FB had worked as a support for the recently freed slaves.
The shift from the radical Republican representation in Congress to the Liberal/Republican party led to the collapse as well given their party was not as interested in showing support to the slaves who had been recently freed.
All in all, there are 4 primary factors that can be designated to have affected the Reconstruction causing it to fail.
1) <u><em>Violence from Confederate loyalists.</em></u><em> </em>This placed African-Americans and supporters in danger.
2) <em><u>Thousands of white plantation owners suffered from extreme poverty. </u></em>War expenses & deconstruction, debates against contracts of labor and the increasing dependence on credit all led to the eventual demiste of the Reconstruction era.
3) <em><u>Non-effective Law Enforcement practices. </u></em>It was a period of violence given the lack of effectiveness in the LE field to control the racial violence and the revolts from the people.
4) <em><u>Decline in national interest. </u></em>The nation was ready to leave behind the uncertainty and questions that plagued their everyday lives involving the Civil War. They sought to return to a normal life - to normalcy. This affected the support they could have given to all of the Reconstruction efforts.

Answer:
The number of helots in relation to Spartan citizens varied throughout the history of the Spartan state; according to Herodotus, there were seven helots for each Spartan at the time of the Battle of Plataea in 479 BC. Thus the need to keep helot population in check and prevent rebellion was one of the main concerns of the Spartans. Helots were ritually mistreated, humiliated and even slaughtered: every autumn the Spartans would declare war on the helots so they could be killed by a member of the Crypteia without fear of religious repercussion. Uprisings and attempts to improve the lot of the helots did occur, such as the Conspiracy of Cinadon.
