The Compromise of 1877 and the End of Reconstruction

  1. The Electoral Count Act, passed in 1877, set up an electoral commission that consisted of 15 men selected from the Senate, the House, and the Supreme Court, which would count the votes (the 15th man was to be an independent, David Davis, but at the last moment, he resigned).
  2. In February of 1877, the Senate and the House met to settle the dispute, and eventually, Hayes became president as a part of the rest of the Compromise of 1877. True to a compromise, both sides won a bit:
    • For the North-Hayes would become president if he agreed to remove troops from the remaining two Southern states where Union troops remained (Louisiana and South Carolina), and also, a bill would subsidize the Texas and Pacific rail line.
    • For the South-military rule and Reconstruction ended when the military pulled out of the South.
    • The Compromise of 1877 abandoned the Blacks in the South by withdrawing troops, and their last attempt at protection of Black rights was the Civil Rights Act of 1875, which was mostly declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the 1883 Civil Rights cases.

The compromise of 1877 was a necessary attempt to avoid a possible renewal of Civil War because if there was another Civil War our country never could have recovered. We would have sunk and never risen to our current grandeur.

There was never a chance for another Civil War.

The Compromise of 1877 failed, however, statements concerning a new Civil War are without merit.
