Explanation:

Charles Sumner was a leading Radical Republican in Congress who strongly advocated for robust Reconstruction policies to protect the rights of African Americans and enforce reform in the South. His death in 1874 removed a key, vocal proponent of these efforts, weakening the political push for Reconstruction reforms at a time when support for them was already declining.

His death weakened the reform effort.
