How did the compromise of 1877end reconstruction?

The Compromise of 1877 effectively ended Reconstruction by resolving the disputed 1876 presidential election between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden. In exchange for Democrats conceding the election to Hayes, Republicans agreed to withdraw federal troops from the South, which had been enforcing Reconstruction policies. This withdrawal led to the collapse of Republican governments in Southern states and the resurgence of white Democratic control, resulting in the implementation of Jim Crow laws and the disenfranchisement of African Americans. Thus, the compromise marked a significant retreat from the progress made during Reconstruction.
