The main reason for the end of reconstruction in the south was the creation of the Compromise of 1877.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The Compromise of 1877 was created at the end of the 1877 presidential election.
- In that election, candidate Samuel J. Tilden won by popular vote but received a minority of the Electoral College votes, which went mostly to Rutherford B. Hayes, who was Republican and in favor of reconstruction.
- In this case, Rutherford B. Hayes was elected, but Tilden was not satisfied, as were many voters who felt his votes were considered insignificant to national policy.
- This generated a strong political discussion, which ended when the Democratic and Republican parties decided that Hayes would be president, but he would withdraw the Union troops from the southern territories.
This agreement was the Compromise of 1877 and was what finalized the reconstruction of the south.
