Best Answer

In the south most of the new black voters were Republicans and the many of the whites were not yet allowed to vote. In the North, the Democratic party which had split when the Civil War broke, was still not fully organized, so the Republicans had a great advantage. U.S. Grant was a national hero and tremendously popular for winning the long costly war.
