The Hayes-Tilden Compromise, also known as the Compromise of 1877, effectively ended in March 1877 when Rutherford B. Hayes was inaugurated as president. This compromise resolved the disputed 1876 presidential election between Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden. In exchange for conceding the presidency to Hayes, Democrats received the withdrawal of federal troops from the South, marking the end of Reconstruction.
