1 janv. 1877 - 1876 Election and The Compromise of 1877

Description:

The 1876 election was among the most contentious in United States History. The highly disputed election was settled with the compromise of 1877 in which Hayes was allowed the presidency so long as all troops were pulled out of the South, effectively ending Reconstruction. This is significant because it is entirely representative of the US government not enforcing its own laws.
