Did the white southern democrats who promised that they would recognize civil rights and political rights for African-Americans as part of the compromise of 1877 hold true to this promise?

Explanation:

The Compromise of 1877 emerged when there arose a dispute in the 1876's presidential election. Though democratic candidate Samuel Tilden won more majority votes than Republican candidate Rutherford B. Hayes, the electoral votes of Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina were caught in a disagreement. Thus, the candidate who was to become the next president remained answered.

At this, the white southern democrats presented a number of promises to the African-American voters which they would fulfill if they come into power. These promises contained in the Compromise of 1877 included voting rights for all, withdrawal of federal troops from the Southern states and the freedom to home-rule in the South.

However, all these promises were not fulfilled. Instead the Jim Crow Segregation bill was imposed across the South and voting rights of black men were disfranchised.

the main objectives of the progressive movement were eliminating problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption.
