With the defeat of the Democrats and the South, to the victors went the spoils. The Republican party was founded a little more than a decade earlier, and lacked for issues other than dividing the spoils of victory, i.e. government jobs once the slaves were free.  Republicans immediately striped [[white]] [[male]]s who engaged in rebellion against the [[United States]] of the [[vote]], and gave it to Blacks. The white males who were deprived of the vote were universally Democrats.

Reconstruction earned Republicans the undying [[hatred]] of Democrats, which has been passed down generation to generation until the modern day. This hatred is so intense, the very mention of the word "Republican" is a trigger word whose mere utterance is enough to send some fourth and fifth generation Democrats into paroxysms and fits of rage.

By 1876, the situation had become ungovernable for Republicans, inexperienced in the spoils system. The Republicans had been able to pass the 13th. 14th, and 15th Amendments to guarantee Blacks basic equality and civil rights, an amnesty was declared for whites who engaged in rebellion, Reconstruction ended, and Republicans withdrew from [[social engineering]] which had divided the country so deeply and stirred up such bitterness and hatred by Democrats against Republicans.
