Rutherford B. Hayes was nicknamed "His Fraudulency" and "Rutherfraud" B. Hayes due to the highly contested -- and some think stolen -- presidential election of 1876.
Hayes, a Republican, ran against Samuel J. Tilden, the Democratic candidate. Tilden received more popular votes than Hayes, but the ballot count was disputed (similar to the 2000 election ended by the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore).
In the Compromise of 1877, Congress chose Rutherford B. Hayes to be President on the promise that he could bring an end to Reconstruction in the South. The Democrats were outraged, but powerless to change the outcome.
Many historians believe the Hayes presidency struck a blow against civil rights, and ultimately lead to racial segregation during the Jim Crow era.
