Impact of Reconstruction

Question 7 • DRHS GA-GSE US History A

What challenges was Reconstruction facing in the 1870s? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
Members of Grant’s staff were accused of accepting bribes.
B
The country was facing severe economic problems.
C
Republican support for Reconstruction was fading.

Explanation

Reconstruction faced political, economic, and public-support challenges in the 1870s. Members of President Grant’s administration were implicated in corruption scandals, the Panic of 1873 led to a severe economic depression, and many Republicans grew less willing to continue federal efforts to protect Reconstruction. Therefore, all three challenges apply.
