Detailed explanation-1: -The Compromise of 1877 was an informal agreement between southern Democrats and allies of the Republican Rutherford Hayes to settle the result of the 1876 presidential election and marked the end of the Reconstruction era.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1877, President Rutherford B. Hayes was officially sworn into office. As he had promised, he ordered all federal troops to leave the South. That officially ended Reconstruction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rutherford B. Hayes lost the popular vote to Democrat Samuel Tildon in 1876 but won in the electoral college when Democrats agreed to his election on the condition that Reconstruction and the military occupation of the three states still being reconstructed be ended. This deal was known as the Compromise of 1877.
