the blacks. For instance, water fountains, schools, classrooms, restrooms, seats in the bus were completely separated. The blacks facilities were always much worse than the whites. If failed to follow those rules, you can be sent to jail. This indicated that whites were and will always be more superior and important than other races. The last reason for this failed plan was time itself. There were more problems that appeared. Panic of 1873 was a problem that came up. It was the longest depression America ever faced; it lasted for 65 months. Because of this depression, people didn’t worry about the African Americans but themselves and their economic status. The end of Reconstruction was because of the Election of 1876. It was between Samuel J. Tilden, Democrat, and Rutherford B. Hayes, Republican. There were disputed votes because the African Americans were blocked to vote. An electoral commission happens and there were 7 Republicans, 1 Non-Partisan, and 7 Democrats.

All I heard was, “Bush did this!”, and “Gore did that!” Even some of my friends were talking about how the Florida count was bogus. But, what about the election of 1876? There wasn't CNN back then, or Facebook status posts on what happened during the election. Lets compare, and see which one was “more fair or not.” My opinion, the election of 2000 was more unfair. Here is why The election of 1876,…

North, or South, who killed Reconstruction? “...the slave went free; stood a brief moment in the sun; then moved back again toward slavery.” (Phil Roden) In 1877, Rutherford B.
