The end of Reconstruction in 1877 marked a significant shift in the South, as federal troops withdrew and white Southern Democrats regained political control. This led to the implementation of Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial segregation and disenfranchised African Americans, severely limiting their civil rights and economic opportunities. The shift also fostered a culture of violence and intimidation against Black citizens, reinforcing systemic inequality. Overall, life for many in the South deteriorated as racial tensions intensified and economic stagnation persisted.
It failed to end the bitterness between the North and the South.

President Rutherford Hayes agreed to end Reconstruction in the Compromise of 1877. He agreed to remove federal troops from South Carolina and Louisiana. The Reconstruction Era was the period between 1865 and 1877 after the Civil War. The goal was the reconstruction of the South after this war.
Reconstruction officially ended on March 31, 1877, when federal troops were withdrawn from the South as part of a compromise that resolved the disputed 1876 presidential election. This marked the conclusion of a period aimed at rebuilding the South and integrating formerly enslaved people into society. The end of Reconstruction led to the implementation of Jim Crow laws and the establishment of segregation in the South.
