Explanation:

It was a secret "gentlemen's agreement" in the USA between the leaders of the Republican Party, representing the bourgeoisie of the North, and the Democratic Party, associated with the planters of the South. The Compromise resolved the political crisis that arose in connection with the presidential election of 1876 (in which R. Hayes was a candidate from the Republican Party, and S. Tilden from the Democratic Party), predetermining the decision of the congressional committee, which checked the results of voting in four disputed states, in favor of Hayes. In exchange for this, Hayes pledged, in particular, to withdraw federal troops from South Carolina and Louisiana, which meant the actual transfer of power in all southern states to the hands of former slave owners.
