The Reconstruction era ended in 1877, primarily due to the Compromise of 1877, which resolved the disputed 1876 presidential election. As part of the compromise, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was awarded the presidency in exchange for withdrawing federal troops from the South, effectively ending federal enforcement of Reconstruction policies. This withdrawal led to the resurgence of white supremacy and the establishment of Jim Crow laws, undermining the rights of African Americans and reversing many Reconstruction gains.
