Detailed explanation-1: -Why did Northerners lose interest in Reconstruction in the 1870s? The Northerners lost interest because they felt it was time for the South to solve their own problems by themselves. There was still racial prejudice, and they were tired, so they just gave up.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the 1870s continued, support for reconstruction throughout the country began to wane. The combination of white intimidation, a significant economic depression in the South, and the Democratic Party winning control of the House of Representatives in 1874, resulted in Reconstruction beginning to fade away.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Reconstruction era was the period after the American Civil War from 1865 to 1877, during which the United States grappled with the challenges of reintegrating into the Union the states that had seceded and determining the legal status of African Americans.
Detailed explanation-4: -What was the greatest concern that Northerners had about Reconstruction in the aftermath of the Civil War? The southern states and their leaders would not recognize the end of slavery and the rights of freed slaves.
