Description

In the North, whites essentially thought they'd done more than enough for black Southerners. Businessmen wanted their own interests to take center stage. Some intellectuals worried about the federal government squelching states rights and public opinion turned — there was little appetite among white Northerners for an indefinite violent federal occupation of the South
But most Republicans no longer cared. The party had achieved its founding aim and had gone quite a bit further, since the Slave Power was now a thing of the past, and that provided a handy rationalization for not doing more. The cause of equal rights for black citizens would now essentially vanish from national American politics for decades.
