The Reconstruction Era effectively ended in 1877, following the Compromise of 1877, which resolved the disputed 1876 presidential election. In exchange for conceding the presidency to Republican Rutherford B. Hayes, Democrats secured the withdrawal of federal troops from the South, effectively ending military Reconstruction. This withdrawal allowed Southern states to regain control and implement Jim Crow laws, leading to the disenfranchisement of African Americans and the establishment of segregation. The end of Reconstruction marked a significant setback for civil rights and racial equality in the United States.
