What brought an end to Presidential Reconstruction? A: The success of Republicans in the 1866 elections B: The election of Ulysses S. Grant C: Lincoln's assassination D: Withdraw of federal troops from the South

Answer 1

The correct answer is D: Withdrawal of federal troops from the South.

Presidential Reconstruction, primarily under the guidance of Andrew Johnson after Lincoln's assassination, came to an end with the Compromise of 1877, which involved the withdrawal of federal troops from the Southern states. This effectively marked the end of Reconstruction and allowed for the return of control to Southern white Democrats, leading to the implementation of Jim Crow laws and the disenfranchisement of African Americans.
