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.
Compromise of 1877
Daniel Webster
The admission of California as a free state.
The Missouri Compromise angered abolitionists because it allowed the expansion of slavery into new territories. By admitting Missouri as a slave state while balancing it with the admission of Maine as a free state, the compromise effectively legitimized and extended the institution of slavery. Abolitionists viewed this as a betrayal of the principles of freedom and equality, as it reinforced the idea that slavery could coexist with free states. Furthermore, it set a precedent for the future expansion of slavery, which many abolitionists vehemently opposed.
The southern blacks were the real losers.

I have been researching this topic for some time now. The Compromise of 1877 was negotiated on February 26, 1877 at the Wormley Hotel in Washington D.C.
The abolitionists thought it was a bad deal. They thought it would strip them of their rights of holding slaves due to the annexation of territory. This created uncertainty for the abolitionists.
