National support for Reconstruction was undermined by:

1. **perceptions of Black-and-carpetbag misgovernment in the South**
2. **the growing political strength of Democrats**
3. **the Panic of 1873**

These factors contributed to a decline in support for Reconstruction efforts. The perception of misgovernment by Black leaders and Northern "carpetbaggers" fueled resentment; the resurgence of Democratic power played a role in reversing gains made during Reconstruction; and the economic downturn from the Panic of 1873 shifted national attention away from Reconstruction issues.

The greenback issue and the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment were less directly related to the undermining of national support for Reconstruction.
