'''Half-Breeds''' were the more [[liberal]] wing of the [[Republican Party]] from 1877-1884 that pushed for a [[civil service system]]. Civil service reform in the South effectively barred [[Black]]s from government jobs. Conservatives called them Half-Breeds because they advocated allowing former [[Confederate]] Rebels into the civil service and refused to deal with the [[Ku Klux Klan]]'s [[voter suppression]] of [[African American]] [[civil rights]]. They were considered only "half Republican", or [[Republican in Name Only]]. They helped facilitate the [[Jim Crow]] [[Democrat]]s take over of [[the South]] at the end of [[Reconstruction]].
