Tilden-Hayes Compromise
The Hayes-Tilden Compromise, also known as the Compromise of 1877, effectively ended in March 1877 when Rutherford B. Hayes was inaugurated as president. This compromise resolved the disputed 1876 presidential election between Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden. In exchange for conceding the presidency to Hayes, Democrats received the withdrawal of federal troops from the South, marking the end of Reconstruction.
Regarding the Hayes-Tilden situation, this was the compromise that was reached. Hayes would be elected President, but in return he had to release the last southern states from Reconstruction.
The compromise of 1877
In the 1876 election, Tilden won the popular vote. However, 20 electoral vote were in dispute (where both parties in the 3 states claimed their candidate won). Eventually, these were given to Hayes. It is implied by many that the compromise to allow Hayes as president was in exchange for pulling Union troops out of the South. The Compromise in effect restored the old political order in the South, pushing African-Americans out of power in the government. Soon after the compromise, African-Americans were barred from voting by poll taxes and grandfather clauses.
Samuel Tilden ,former New York Governor, was the Democratic Party's opposition to Hayes.
Samuel Tilden and Rutherford B. Hayes were key figures in the contentious U.S. presidential election of 1876. Tilden, the Democratic candidate, won the popular vote but lost the presidency to Hayes, the Republican candidate, after a controversial electoral dispute. The election was marked by allegations of voter fraud and led to the Compromise of 1877, which resolved the impasse by withdrawing federal troops from the South, effectively ending Reconstruction. Hayes's presidency is often noted for its attempts at civil service reform and reconciliation after the Civil War.
Rutherford B Hayes
Rutherford Hayes won the 1876 presidential election defeating Samuel Tilden. In the 1876 presidential election Rutherford Hayes received 185 electoral votes and Samuel Tilden received 184 electoral votes. The popular vote totals were Tilden 4,288,546 and Hayes 4,034,311. The electoral votes of 4 States were disputed
The Compromise of 1877 was an informal, unwritten deal that settled the disputed 1876 U.S. Presidential election. Through it, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was awarded the White House over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden on the understanding that Hayes would remove the federal troops that were propping up Republican state governments in South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana.
After the election of 1876, federal troops were removed from the South. Rutherford Hayes became president. The South was now controlled by Democratic Redeemers who disenfranchised black voters.
