1 jan 1877 ano - Compromise of 1877

Descrição:

An informal, unwritten compromise between the Democratic and Republican Parties just after the election of 1876. Due to the contested states leaving the electoral college unable to decide a victor, it was proposed and accepted that Rutherford B. Hayes would win all three states (thus winning the presidency by one electoral vote) in return for the following:
-the removal of all US troops from the South (stationed from the Enforcement Acts
-the appointment of at least one Southern Democrat to the presidential cabinet

However, there was no confirmation this compromise ever took place, as Hayes had announced his support for the removal of US troops during his campaign, and it was fairly commonplace for a narrowly elected president to appoint a cabinet member from the opposing party.
