Question

How did the Great Compromise of 1877 influence the election?

It allowed a bilateral government agreement.
It gave new power to northern Republicans.
It encouraged southern states to support Hayes.
It gave the federal government new powers.

Answer 1

It encouraged southern states to support Hayes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Compromise of 1877 resolved the disputed 1876 election between Samuel Tilden and Rutherford Hayes. In the agreement, Democrats (that were the majority in the Southern states) agreed that Hayes could become the President in exchange for the withdrawal of federal troops from the South and granted home rule in the South.

This was a major turn point in American political history, ending the Reconstruction era.
