Indicate how the disputed Hayes-tilden election of 1876 lead to the compromise of 1877and the end of reconstruction?
The Hayes-Tilden election of 1876 was controversial due to the fact that the two presidential nominees, Samuel J. Tilden and Rutherford B. Hayes, were in an election deadlock. The final decision for which candidate would win the election was to be made by the result of electoral returns from three undecided states. However, each state sent back two sets of returns- one Democratic and one Republican. The dilemma in this was of who would could these returns- if counted by the president of a Senate (a Republican), the Republican returns would be chosen and if counted by the Speaker of the House (a Democrat), the Democratic returns would be chosen. The solution to this was given by Congress, which ordered that the election deadlock was to be broken by the Electoral Count Act, where an electoral commission of 15 men selected from the Senate, the House, and the Supreme Court would count the electoral returns. When the returns from Florida were given to the electoral commission, the members (8 Republicans and 7 Democrats) agreed to accept the Republican returns. Sensing defeat, members of the commission struck a deal to accept the remaining Republican returns (allowing Hayes to become president), while Democrats were assured a spot at the presidential patronage trough and were to receive support for a bill to subsidize the construction of a southern transcontinental line. This was called the Compromise of 1877. With Hayes now the new president, he established a new "Let 'em Alone" policy, which removed federal troops that had been placed by the previous president to promote equality, and thus ended Reconstruction. Had the disputed Hayes-Tilden election of 1876 not taken place, the electoral commission would not have been set up to resolve the dilemma. Without the electoral commission, the Compromise of 1877 to accept the Republican returns would not have occurred, Hayes would not have become president, and he would not have been in such a position of power to end Reconstruction.
