In 1876 African Americans couldn't vote and Jim Crow laws were in full force. In the 1870 election federal troops were pulled out of the south and with them leaving discrimination was codified in the southern states. Nothing in the election of 1876 helped African Americans and the election was a disputed election. Hays won the election , but southern election returns resulted in a question about the votes. A recount was performed and Hays won. Because of problems with the election a electoral commission was created with 15 members. Ten were from Congress and the Supreme Court Justices made up the rest. The Hays win ended federal interference is southern politics and the disenfranchisement of black voters. From the late 1870's on laws were passed requiring the separation of whites from " persons of color" on public transportation , in schools, parks, restraurants, theaters, and other locations. These laws governed life in the south for the next 100 years and ended only after the Civil Rights Movement won rights and outlawed discrimination.
