Student # 7

1) Look at the student’s work.

 

Compromise of 1877

The Compromise of 1877 to my understanding was were David Davis "was electedd to the U.S Senate by the Illinios legislature with Dempcratic votes in a move to defeat a Republic incumbent." page 488. A republican took Davis place and because of this "the eletoral commission accepted the Republican." page 488 So basically Under the Compromise of 1877, the Democrates had to accept Hayes as the winner (the next president) only if the Repulicans followed the Compromise. A few rules of the Compromise were that they would remove the soilders from the South, to assign a Democrate in the presdients office, and basically "reconstruction" of the South and the railroads
