Quid pro quo. And the troops were removed to Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Ohio to put down strikers. The beginning of the direct identification between Republicans and what would become the 1%.

Hayes repented his overly conciliatory approach to the South and after pro-seg Dems won both Houses in 1878 he fought hard to prevent repeal of Reconstruction legislation

I am just reading about that election in Chernow's Grant bio. I can't name an American who had greater influence over a longer period than Grant. That he came virtually out of nowhere, was a functional alcoholic and did what he did is a truly amazing story. A very decent man.

There was obvious fraud on the part of the GOP in the election results. Tilden should have been President, but a Democrat would not be elected until Cleveland.
