The 1876 Louisiana gubernatorial election was the third and final election to take place under the
Louisiana Constitution of 1868. As a result of this election
Francis T. Nicholls became
Governor of Louisiana, but not before the election was contested by his opponent. The results of this election, like those of
1872, were disputed. The dispute was resolved by the
Compromise of 1877 which gave the Governor's Mansion to
Democrat
Francis T. Nicholls. The Compromise also gave
Republican presidential candidate
Rutherford B. Hayes the electoral votes of several disputed states, including
Louisiana, which resulted in his election to the
White House. The election of Nicholls marked the end of
Reconstruction in Louisiana and the decline of the
Republican Party of Louisiana.
