What was life like in the South for African Americans after the Reconstruction ended in 1877?(Notes)

          When the Reconstruction ended in 1877, African Americans in the South faced many of the problems they had faced since Emancipation. Some of these problems were getting worse, and new problems were gaining importance. As important as the war itself was the tangled problem of how to reconstruct the defeated South. They were encouraged by the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the Constitution. At last, African Americans nourished hopes for full equality; however, it did not work out that way. By 1877 Southern white resistance and the withdrawal of federal supervision brought about the redemption of the South and African Americans were deprived of their right to vote. The redemption measures enforced greater racial separation and increased white intimidation and violence.
         Compromise of 1877 marked  a retreat from the initial desire of the Radical Republicans to have the national government protect the fundamental rights of blacks as American citizens, the compromise meant that the welfare of African Americans was again in the hands of those who had oppressed them under slavery, those committed to upholding white supremacy. The gains during Reconstruction, in example, the passage of federal legislation to protect the civil rights of southern blacks, the presence of southern blacks in the national legislature, and the presence of blacks in southern governments as executives and legislators), threatened anti-black violence and the control of southern society was ultimately returned to those committed to restoring and maintaining white domination.
