Irritated at his patronage policy, many Republicans opposed Alcorn. They were concerned as well over his understanding of African-American interests. His hostility to a state civil rights bill was well known; so was his unwillingness to appoint local black officers where a white alternative could be found. One complained that Alcorn's policy was to see "the old civilization of the South <i>modernized</i>" rather than lead a total political, social, and economic revolution.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Alcorn resigned from the governorship to become a U.S. senator, with service from 1871 to 1877, when he was succeeded by <a href="/wiki/L._Q._C._Lamar" class="mw-redirect" title="L.

Alcorn resisted federal action to suppress the <a href="/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan" title="Ku Klux Klan">Ku Klux Klan</a>, instead contending that state authorities were sufficient to handle the task. By 1873, the quarrel had deepened into an intense animosity. Both men ran for governor. Ames was supported by the Radicals and most African Americans, while Alcorn won the votes of most of the <a href="/wiki/Scalawag" title="Scalawag">scalawags</a>, moderately Whiggish whites. Ames won by a vote of 69,870 to 50,490. Alcorn withdrew from active politics in the state and accused the new governor of being incapable and an enemy of the people. When a second African-American senator, <a href="/wiki/Blanche_Bruce" title="Blanche Bruce">Blanche Bruce</a>, was elected in 1874, Alcorn refused to follow the customary procedure of introducing his new colleague to the Senate.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Bruce was instead welcomed by New York senator <a href="/wiki/Roscoe_Conkling" title="Roscoe Conkling">Roscoe Conkling</a>, the leader of the congressional "<a href="/wiki/Stalwarts_(politics)" title="Stalwarts (politics)">Stalwart</a>" wing. </p><p>In 1875, when Reconstruction was fighting for its life against a campaign of violence from the Democrats, Alcorn emerged and led a white force against black Republicans at <a href="/w/index.php?title=Friar%27s_Point&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Friar's Point (page does not exist)">Friar's Point</a>.
