The Election of 1876 was significant because the Republican Hayes was awarded all 20 electoral votes that were in dispute. It was under the compromise of 1877 that he was awarded the votes and won the election. The Republicans agreed to withdraw federal troops from the South which is why the Democrats agreed to the compromise.

What event brought about the need for the compromise of 1877?
Reconstruction politics meant that the electoral votes of three Southern states were disputed in the Presidential election of 1876, preventing either candidate from achieving a majority. The "Compromise of 1877" was a suspected informal agreement that gave Rutherford Hayes the Presidency in exchange for the relaxation of Reconstruction in the South. The Democratic candidate, Samuel J. Tilden, otherwise would have won the election of 1876, having the lead in both the popular and electoral votes. The "corrupt bargain" in the House mirrored the situation in the election of 1824 where John Quincy Adams was elected in a race that had four candidates. The South regained their mostly Democratic governments and began a long history of voting as a bloc (the Solid South) to achieve political aims.
