What even made the compromise of 187 7 possible?

Answer 1

The Compromise of 1877 was made possible by the contentious presidential election of 1876, where disputed results in several states led to a political deadlock. To resolve the crisis, Democrats agreed to concede the presidency to Republican Rutherford B. Hayes in exchange for the withdrawal of federal troops from the South, effectively ending Reconstruction. This compromise aimed to restore political stability but also resulted in the disenfranchisement of African Americans and the resurgence of white supremacy in Southern states.
