Description:

Reconstruction of the south ended in 1877 due to the election of Rutherford B. Hayes. It was a corrupt bargain similar to that of 1824. In exchange for the electoral votes going towards Hayes from Democrats, the Republicans had to agree to end the reconstruction of the south and pull out troops.
