The BEST description of the Compromise of 1877 is:
B Hayes becomes President and Reconstruction ends.
This compromise resolved the disputed 1876 presidential election, leading to Rutherford B. Hayes becoming president in exchange for the withdrawal of federal troops from the South, which effectively ended Reconstruction.
