By most accounts, the official end of Reconstruction in the American South (after the Civil War's conclusion in 1865) arrived in 1877. The occasion was provided by the disputed election of Rutherford B. Hayes as the 19th President of the United States: Hayes secured the presidency through an arrangement with Southern congressional leaders, offering to remove Federal military control throughout the South if these leaders would assent to his election.
