End of Reconstruction
Adam Tyler
President Hayes made a campaign promise to remove troops from the South. This succeeded and resulted in the end of Reconstruction. He had to keep this promise to maintain a good status as the president and to make sure another Civil War with the ex-Confederates didn't happen. The decision was on "May 1st, 1877". This decision to return the rule to ex-Confederates formed the "disenfranchisement" of black people in the South.
