The disputed election of 1876, primarily between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, signaled the end of the Reconstruction era in the United States. The election was marred by allegations of voter fraud and intimidation, leading to a compromise where Hayes was awarded the presidency in exchange for the withdrawal of federal troops from the South. This effectively ended Reconstruction and allowed Southern states to regain control, leading to the implementation of Jim Crow laws and the disenfranchisement of African Americans.
