The event that decreased the popularity of President Ford was that he pardoned President Nixon.

Explanation:

On August 9, 1974, after just nine months as vice president, Ford was named president of the United States after the resignation of then President Richard Nixon, as a result of the Watergate scandal. During his term, he tried to recover the nation's confidence in the government, which had been marred by the event. But one of his first and most controversial acts was to promulgate Nixon's pardon of all the federal crimes he had committed while in office. This pardon was signed by Ford 48 hours after assuming the Presidency. It was effective on September 8, 1974, through the Presidential Proclamation 4311, giving Nixon full and unconditional forgiveness for any crime he may have committed against the United States, while he was president. In a televised broadcast by national network Ford justified the Proclamation, qualifying this pardon as one of the best interests of the country.

The indult to Nixon generated strong controversies. Critics scoffed at the move, calling it "a corrupt bargain" that had been negotiated between the two, arguing in turn that the pardon was a token of gratitude on the part of Ford to Nixon, for having promoted him to the presidency through his resignation. As a result of this, the first Press Secretary of Ford and close friend Jerald Terhorst, resigned his position in protest.

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
