∙ 7y agoIn 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.

In the 1876 election, Tilden won the popular vote. However, 20 electoral vote were in dispute (where both parties in the 3 states claimed their candidate won). Eventually, these were given to Hayes. It is implied by many that the compromise to allow Hayes as president was in exchange for pulling Union troops out of the South. The Compromise in effect restored the old political order in the South, pushing African-Americans out of power in the government. Soon after the compromise, African-Americans were barred from voting by poll taxes and grandfather clauses.

The African-Americans tried to escape from the South because the South had slave states. They tried to get to the North because those were free states.
Most people tend to remain near where their ancestors lived. Since a very large number of African Americans descend from Africans imported to the South to work as slaves, there are still large numbers of African Americans in the South.
Poverty has a very significant impact on the South African community. Poverty has led to South Africa having one of the highest crime rates in the world.
