Answer:

In 1876 African Americans couldn't vote and Jim Crow laws were in full force. In the 1870 election federal troops were pulled out of the south and with them leaving discrimination was codified in the southern states. Nothing in the election of 1876 helped African Americans and the election was a disputed election.
