White Southerners' perceptions of threats to their values and interests during various presidential administrations like Grant's and Roosevelt's during the Reconstruction era.
White Southerners faced a dilemma during different presidential administrations, including Grant's, as they perceived a threat to their values and interests. During the era of Reconstruction, sentiments of betrayal and fear of losing control intensified among white Southerners due to actions like Roosevelt's engagement with black leaders and labor unions, which challenged the existing power dynamics.
In the late 1860s and early 1870s, conservative white Southerners played on the fear of 'Negro rule' to diminish Republican influence, leading to the election of Ulysses S. Grant in 1868. This period was marked by struggles between North and South, with attempts to reduce federal control in the South and ultimately the Compromise of 1877 finally ending Reconstruction.
