Compromise of 1877 Concept Map Overview
The Compromise of 1877 was an informal political deal that resolved the disputed presidential election of 1876. Republicans and Democrats agreed that Rutherford B. Hayes would take the presidency, and federal troops would withdraw from the last Southern states, ending Reconstruction. A concept map shows how the disputed results, the commission, the bargain and its consequences connect.
- Disputed election: contested electoral votes in Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina and Oregon
- Electoral Commission: the body that awarded the contested votes to Hayes
- The bargain: promises on railroads, patronage and home rule for Southern states
- End of Reconstruction: withdrawal of federal troops from the South
- Long-term effects: the rise of Jim Crow laws and the decline of Black political power

Compromise of 1877 Questions
Common questions about the deal and how to map it.
Why was the Compromise of 1877 needed?
The 1876 election ended in a dispute over electoral votes in several states. No clear winner was certified, and Congress set up an Electoral Commission to decide the result, which was eventually settled by an informal deal.
What did the compromise end?
It is generally seen as ending Reconstruction, because the last federal troops left the South and Southern states gained more control over their own governments.
