The Reconstruction Era effectively ended in 1877 due to a combination of political compromise and growing fatigue over the challenges of integrating formerly enslaved people into society. The contested 1876 presidential election resulted in a compromise where Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was awarded the presidency in exchange for withdrawing federal troops from the South. This withdrawal allowed Southern states to regain control and implement Jim Crow laws, leading to the disenfranchisement and segregation of African Americans. The end of Reconstruction marked a significant setback in civil rights for Black Americans.
