What were the American political parties after the civil war

1 Answer

Answer:

Republican Party and Democratic Party

Step-by-step explanation:

Civil war and Reconstruction issues polarized the parties until the Compromise of 1877, which ended the latter. Thus both parties became broad-based voting coalitions and the race issue pulled newly enfranchised African Americans (Freedmen) into the Republican Party while white southerners (Redeemers) joined the Democratic Party.
