The presidential election of 1876 marked the end of congressional Reconstruction in the United States.
The election was contested and led to the Compromise of 1877, which resulted in the withdrawal of federal troops from the South and the end of Reconstruction efforts. Rutherford B. Hayes, the Republican candidate, was declared the winner, and in exchange for Southern support, Hayes agreed to remove federal troops from the Southern states, effectively ending the era of Reconstruction.
This compromise allowed Southern states to regain control over their governments, leading to the establishment of Jim Crow laws and the imposition of segregation in the South.
