The South faces enormous challenges after the Civil War, mainly how to reconstitute its economic and social base without slavery. The responsibility for resolving these issues falls to the Republicans. At first, many white males are excluded from voting or holding office in the ten Southern states reorganized under the Congressional plan. In fact black voters are in the majority in five of the states. When suffrage limitations are lifted, Republicans maintain control only with the help of Southern whites, the carpetbaggers and scalawags. There are examples of graft in Reconstruction governments but there are also dramatic improvements in areas such as education.
