Explanation:

The 1876 United States presidential election was the 23rd quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 7, 1876. It was one of the most antagonistic and controversial presidential elections in American history. It is known for being the cause for the end of Reconstruction. Republican aspirant Rutherford B. Hayes faced Democrat Samuel J. Tilden and after a contentious post-election process, Hayes was declared the winner.

Samuel J. Tilden outpolled Rutherford B. Hayes and had 184 electoral votes to Hayes' 165, with 20 votes uncounted. These 20 electoral votes were in conflict in 3 states: Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina. While in Oregon one elector was declared illegal and replaced, each party reported its candidate had won the state. The 20 disputed electoral votes were ultimately awarded to Hayes after a resentful legal and political battle, in which he won.

Many people believe that an unofficial deal was struck to resolve the dispute: the Compromise of 1877. In return for the Democrats' acceptance in Hayes' election, the Republicans agreed to withdraw federal troops from the South, ending Reconstruction.
