During the Grant administration interest in Reconstruction fades as the North becomes preoccupied with its own problems. Before Grant leaves office in 1876 Democrats redeem seven of he eleven former Confederate states. It is a setting in which terrorist organizations like Ku Klux Klan gain strength and use intimidation and violence to undermine the gains that have been made and reestablish white supremacy; Congress enacts laws in 1870 and 1871 to confront the Klan; a federal first, but this respite is brief. A growing number of people in the Republican party do not consider blacks good citizens and believe it is better to have the propertied classes in the South retake control.
