Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -“The South would have ended up in the same state – with Jim Crow, segregation and disenfranchisement – which was solidified in the 1890s, not during Reconstruction. There was no way white southerners weren’t running the show.”
Detailed explanation-2: -The assassination of Lincoln had a huge impact on Reconstruction. This is primarily because his successor, Andrew Johnson, was a Southerner himself. While not a secessionist, Johnson was sympathetic to the Southern states and allowed them to be readmitted to the Union with little to no penalty.
