The Compromise of 1877 was an informal agreement between Democrats and Republicans that brought an end to the Reconstruction period. It stated that Rutherford B. Hayes would become president if he agreed to withdraw federal troops from the South, ending Reconstruction, and provide the South with substantial federal subsidies for railroads. In exchange, Democrats agreed not to block his inauguration and to deal fairly with freedmen.
