Question

Answer 1

I'm not sure if this is 100% but I think it was a unwritten deal that settled the intensely disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election.

Answer 2

The Compromise of 1877 was a purported informal, unwritten deal that settled the intensely disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election. It resulted in the United States federal government pulling the last troops out of the South, and formally ended the Reconstruction Era.
