Why did the federal government begin to turn his attention away from Reconstruction in the south?

The federal government began to turn its attention away from Reconstruction in the South primarily due to growing political fatigue and economic concerns in the North. By the mid-1870s, many Americans were more focused on issues like economic recovery following the Panic of 1873 than on the ongoing challenges of Reconstruction. Additionally, the rise of the Democratic Party and the backlash against federal intervention in Southern affairs led to a loss of political will to enforce Reconstruction policies. This shift culminated in the Compromise of 1877, which effectively ended federal efforts to protect the rights of African Americans in the South.
