The disputed presidential election of 1876 resulted in the Compromise of 1877, which effectively ended Reconstruction in the South. In exchange for conceding the presidency to Rutherford B. Hayes, Democrats secured the withdrawal of federal troops from Southern states, leading to the collapse of Republican governments there.

The election is often seen as a pivotal moment in U.S. history that shaped race relations and political dynamics in the South.
