In what one way did the 1876 elections signal the end of reconstruction?

The 1876 elections signaled the end of Reconstruction primarily through the contested results and subsequent compromise that effectively ended federal intervention in Southern affairs. The election between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden resulted in a disputed outcome, leading to the Compromise of 1877, where Democrats conceded the presidency to Hayes in exchange for the withdrawal of federal troops from the South. This withdrawal allowed Southern states to regain control and implement Jim Crow laws, thus dismantling the Reconstruction era's advancements in civil rights for African Americans.

Other way round. It was the disagreements between North and South that provoked the Civil War. The Compromise of 1850 was an attempt to keep the peace, but in order to get California admitted as a free state, Congress had to make concessions to the South, including the controversial Fugitive Slave Act, which allowed the employment of official slave-catchers to hunt down runaways. This raised the temperature of the whole debate.

What is the connection between the compromise of 1850 to the civil war?

The Compromise of 1850 was a series of legislative measures aimed at resolving the territorial and slavery conflicts arising from the Mexican-American War. It sought to balance the interests of free and slave states by admitting California as a free state while allowing popular sovereignty in other territories. However, the compromise ultimately intensified sectional tensions, as it included the controversial Fugitive Slave Act, which angered many in the North. These unresolved issues contributed significantly to the rising animosity between the North and South, paving the way for the Civil War.


That compromise of 1850 could have stopped the violence over slavery?

There wasn't much violence about slavery in 1850, only a lot of verbal disagreement. The 1850 Compromise heightened the tension, through the unpopularity of the Fugitive Slave Act, and the publication of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' as an angry protest against it. Bloodshed followed from the next compromise, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and tensions rose further with the Dred Scott verdict (declaring slavery legal in every state of the Union), the Lincoln-Douglas debates, and the John Brown rebellion. By then, war was on its way.

This followed the unsuccessful Compromise of 1850, which did not involve Popular Sovereignty.
