The Reconstruction era failed for a combination of factors, including the resentment towards African Americans' new rights, increased corruption during Grant's administration, and economic issues like the issuance of paper money without gold backup. Therefore, the best answer would be "All of the choices."
These issues contributed to a backlash against Reconstruction efforts, the rise of white supremacist groups, and ultimately the end of Reconstruction in favor of Jim Crow laws and segregation.
