How Did The South Stop Reconstruction

While the South did use fear as a way to stop Reconstruction, is was the North, who overall was the cause of the end of Reconstruction. Following the Civil War, the North wanted to reform and reintroduce the South into the Union. Who really did end Reconstruction? The North is the main reason Reconstruction ended early. None of the government officials had previous experience. This lead to voters shifting their attention from Reconstruction to ¨national concerns¨. ¨Voters shifted their attention to such national concerns as the Panic of 1873 and corruption in Grant's administration.¨ The North basically turned against each other.
