What if whaever problem with the Republican vote in Oregan had been solved so it was undisputed that Hayes was had won the state what does that do to the blacks in the southern states between 1877 and circa 1966?
By 1876 about 3,000 soldiers were left in the South. The carpetbagger, Freedmen, and Scalawag alliances had splintered irrevocably among Moderate and Radical lines, which allowed Redeemers to murder their way into office as most of the army went home or to fight Natives out west. The North did not want to stay in the South, and as soon as the Democrats win the House (which they did in 1874), Senate, or Presidency Reconstruction is practically over. Hell in 1873 only 4 states were Republican controlled down south: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina (the latter two having a smaller white population then their black on). Arkansas went in 1874, and so did the rest in '77.
It doesn't matter how long the Republicans have all 3 branches, it doesn't matter if Grant wins a 3rd term, by the mid 70's the northern public did not care enough for the southern negro to keep paying their taxes for an army to hold down people who weren't going to secede again. Unless you have some kind of event to flare up Northerners to keep the military full force, like the KKK forms a several thousand man army and storms DC, it really will go out with a whimper.

So, I guess this means southern blacks are going to get screwed no matter what? They were going to be second class citizens no matter what for close to a century?
And all I was asking was for Hayes and co. not to have to make a deal to get elected in 1876.
No wonder I didn't take the Constitution very seriously until I was in college in the middle 1960's and I'm white.
And all I was asking was for the GOP not to have to make a deal to get elected in 1876.
