Federal troops withdrew from South Carolina in 1877 as part of the broader process of Reconstruction's end following the Compromise of 1877. This compromise resolved the disputed 1876 presidential election, leading to the agreement that Democrats would regain control of Southern states in exchange for recognizing Rutherford B. Hayes as president. The withdrawal marked a shift towards white Democratic control and the dismantling of Reconstruction-era reforms, ultimately paving the way for Jim Crow laws and increased racial segregation.
