A Respectable, but seldom remembered President. Hayes’s presidency is often blamed for ending reconstruction by a “corrupt bargain”, but despite popular belief, by this point in history Reconstruction was disliked by the American public. Due to these circumstances no matter who won the election of 1876, Whether that be the Progressive Republican candidate, or the Conservative Democratic candidate (this was before the party switch, before the 60’s democrats were largely conservative), Reconstruction would have ended regardless. Another thing of note is that the corrupt bargain that his critics mention had no historical written records, and seems to mostly be based on hearsay.
Person 1: man I cant believe Rutherford B. Hayes cheated to win the election of 1876.
Person 2: erhm, ACKCHYUALLY theres no record of the Compromise of 1877 ever happening!
Person 1: holy shit, fuck off you are so annoying. Why is this even on urban dictionary?
