==Hayes presidency==
The Compromise of 1877 that resolved the controversies and disputes of the [[United States presidential election, 1876|1876 presidential election]] gave the [[White House]] to Republican [[Rutherford Hayes]] over [[Bourbon Democrat]] opponent [[Samuel J. Tilden]]. Soon after taking office, Hayes abandoned his past [[Radical Republican]]ism and pulled federal troops from the [[the South]], all but ensuring a Jim Crow Democrat takeover of the region.
President Hayes also pushed for civil service reform, aligning himself with the Half-Breeds.
