Question

Why did military rule come to an end in 1877?

Answer 1

The millitary rule was initially created to guarantee the safety of the freed Slaves in the southern region, but over period of time, the millitary rules seems to be less necessary since the majority people had accept the fact that they could no longer treat the African American as slaves (even though many still not happy about it)

On top of that, Rutherford B. Hayes received a lot of pressure from Democratic party at that time and being threatened into a filibuster if He refused to did a compromise and retract the last remaining troops from the South.
