Abolitionists opposed the Compromise of 1877 because it effectively ended Reconstruction and allowed for the resurgence of white supremacy in the South. The compromise resulted in the withdrawal of federal troops from Southern states, leading to the dismantling of protections for newly freed African Americans and the establishment of Jim Crow laws. Abolitionists believed this betrayal undermined the progress made toward racial equality and civil rights following the Civil War. Additionally, they viewed it as a failure of the federal government to uphold its commitment to protect the rights of all citizens.
