The Compromise of 1877 put what man into office and marked the beginning of the end of Reconstruction in the South?
Answer Rutherford Hayes
The Democratic nominee, Tilden, seemed to be on track to win the election, but the Republicans disputed three southern states' results, claiming intimidation of black voters on the Democrat's part. A series of backroom deals known as the Compromise of 1877 resulted in Hayes winning the presidency in exchange for the effective end of Reconstruction in the South.
