Rutherford B. Hayes was chosen by a special electoral commission since initially neither candidate had the requisite 185 electoral votes. Although Hayes lost the popular vote to Democrat Samuel Samuel J. Tilden, he won an extra 20 twenty disputed votes when the House of Representatives voted to give them to him. It is generally believed that there was an unofficial compromise or agreement between the Republicans and Democrats in which the Democrats would acquiesce the victory to Hayes in exchange for the Republicans removing federal troops out of the southern states and, thereby, end Reconstruction.
