The close of Reconstruction affected the federal government in that "The balance of power between federal and state governments was restored." During Reconstruction, the federal government had exerted more control over the states in order to enforce civil rights and voting protections for formerly enslaved people. After Reconstruction ended, many of those protections were rolled back, and states regained more autonomy.
