The end of the Reconstruction period in the South is commonly marked by the Compromise of 1877. This political agreement followed the disputed 1876 presidential election, resulting in the withdrawal of federal troops from Southern states in exchange for recognizing Rutherford B. Hayes as president. This withdrawal effectively ended federal efforts to enforce civil rights and led to the rise of Jim Crow laws, which institutionalized racial segregation and disenfranchisement in the South.
