Compromise of 1877
Hayes fulfilled his part in the compromise and promptly withdrew the last of the federal troops protecting African Americans and other Republicans.
In a series of decisions in the 1880s and 1890s, the supreme court struck down one reconstruction law after another that protected blacks from discrimination.
Leaders of the two parties worked an informal deal. the democrats would allow Hayes to become president. In return, he would immediately end federal support for the Republicans in the South and support the building of a Southerner transcontinental railroad.
Supporters of the new south promised a future of identical development, but most southern afican americans and whites in the decades after the civill war remained poor farmers, and they fell further behind the rest of the nation.
Lincoln's Plan
Lincoln's blueprint for reconstruction included the 10% plan, which specified that a Southern state could be readmitted into the union once 10 percent of its voters swore an oath to allegiance to the Union.
In his view, voters could elect delegates to draft revised state constitutions and establish new state governments. All southerners except for high ranking confederate army officials and governments were granted a full pardon.
Lincoln did not want to punish southerners or reorganize southern society. He wanted reconstruction to be a short process in which secessionist states could draft new constitutions as swiftly possible so that the US could exist as it had before,
Lincoln wanted the war to end quickly and he also feared that a prolonged war would lose public support and that the North and South would never be reunited in a fighting that would not end quickly.
