March 2, 1877: Deal That Sold Out Four Million People

On March 2, 1877, the House of Representatives ended a filibuster and certified Rutherford B. Hayes as president, resolving the most disputed election in American history. The Compromise of 1877 that made it possible pulled federal troops from the South, ending Reconstruction. Southern Democrats promised to protect Black civil rights. They lied. Within months, Black Americans across the South began losing the right to vote, hold office, and expect equal treatment. The effects lasted ninety years. This is a story about political compromise, constitutional crisis, and the price of abandoning justice for stability.
