* The Compromise arose partly out of the disputed presidential election of 1876, and arranged for the Republican candidate, Rutherford Hayes, to become President in return for certain concessions to the South. But, more fundamentally, it came out of the general conditions of the post-Civil War era, in which Northern politicians and businessmen needed Southern white support for peaceful national development along the lines they desired. The Compromise of 1877 gave an affirmative answer to the question, as C. Vann Woodward puts it in Reunion and Reaction: “… could the South be induced to combine with the Northern conservatives and become a prop instead of a menace to the new capitalist order?”
