Detailed explanation-1: -Which statement BEST explains why Reconstruction ended? Enforcement of Reconstruction Acts decreased because of political compromise.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reconstruction ended with the contested Presidential election of 1876, which put Republican Rutherford B. Hayes in office in exchange for the withdrawal of federal troops from the South. Republicans and Democrats responded to the economic declines by shifting attention from Reconstruction to economic recovery.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Compromise of 1876 effectively ended the Reconstruction era. Southern Democrats’ promises to protect the civil and political rights of Black people were not kept, and the end of federal interference in southern affairs led to widespread disenfranchisement of Black voters.
Detailed explanation-4: -The conventional ending for Reconstruction is 1877, when the federal government withdrew the last troops stationed in the South as part of the Compromise of 1877. However, some scholars offer later dates, such as 1890, when Republicans failed to pass the Federal Elections Bill and secure black voters’ rights.
