Federal troops were withdrawn from the South
The Reconstruction era began in the United States after the Civil War, specifically in 1865, following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. It aimed to address the integration of formerly enslaved people into society and the rebuilding of the Southern states. The era is generally considered to have lasted until 1877, when federal troops were withdrawn from the South, marking the end of Reconstruction policies.
Reconstruction officially ended on March 31, 1877, when federal troops were withdrawn from the South as part of a compromise that resolved the disputed 1876 presidential election.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.

Hayes
The Compromise of 1877 was the event that ended Reconstruction. The compromise did more than just end Reconstruction, it also settled the 1876 Presidential election dispute and removed federal troops from the South.
The military troops stationed throughout the South to enforce the Radical Reconstruction Act were deployed by the federal government under the authority of President Ulysses S. Grant. This was done to ensure the protection of freed slaves and to maintain order during the Reconstruction period following the American Civil War.

Reconstruction
Union troops occupied parts of the South during and after the Civil War, primarily from 1861 until 1877. The most intense occupation occurred during the war itself and continued during the Reconstruction era, which lasted from 1865 to 1877. Federal military presence aimed to enforce new laws and protect the rights of newly freed slaves, but by 1877, the last federal troops were withdrawn as part of a compromise that effectively ended Reconstruction.
