B is the best answer, but it is not complete.
Yes, the assassination of President Lincoln is the event that significantly changed the nature of Reconstruction. To arrive at this answer, let's examine each of the options:
A. The censure of Edwin Stanton by the Senate:
The censure of Edwin Stanton by the Senate, which occurred in 1868, was a significant event during the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson. While it demonstrated the ongoing political tensions during Reconstruction, it did not directly change the nature of Reconstruction itself.
B. The assassination of President Lincoln:
The assassination of President Lincoln took place in 1865, just days after the Confederate surrender, and had a profound impact on the course of Reconstruction. Lincoln had favored a more lenient approach towards the South, seeking reconciliation and a swift restoration of the Union. His assassination led to the presidency of Vice President Andrew Johnson, who pursued a more lenient Reconstruction policy in the beginning but clashed with the Radical Republicans in Congress. Thus, the assassination of President Lincoln changed the nature of Reconstruction.
C. The Supreme Court’s decision in the election of 1876:
The Supreme Court's decision in the election of 1876, also known as the Compromise of 1877, marked the end of Reconstruction, rather than changing its nature. It resulted in the withdrawal of federal troops from the South, effectively ending the era of Reconstruction and allowing for the imposition of Jim Crow laws and the suppression of African American rights.
D. The election of Ulysses S. Grant as president:
The election of Ulysses S. Grant as president in 1868 had significant implications for Reconstruction, but it did not fundamentally change its nature. Grant's presidency was marked by increased federal intervention in the South to protect the rights of African Americans. However, it was the assassination of President Lincoln that had a more profound impact on the nature of Reconstruction.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. The assassination of President Lincoln.
