Which president withdrew troops causing the whites to take over the south?

President Rutherford B. Hayes ordered the withdrawal of federal troops from the South in 1877, effectively ending Reconstruction. This decision allowed white Southern Democrats to regain control over state governments, leading to the implementation of Jim Crow laws and the disenfranchisement of African Americans. The withdrawal marked a significant shift in power dynamics in the South, facilitating the rise of white supremacy and segregationist policies.
