Why did Reconstruction come to an end in 1877?

According to Khan Academy, Reconstructed ended due to "the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes." The Democrats of the House of Representatives did all they could to prevent Hayes from getting inaugurated, but they did not succeed. Instead, the Compromise of 1877 occurred which "resolved the dispute of the presidential election."  The big turning point of the end of Reconstruction was when President Hayes withdrew troops from Louisiana and South Carolina.
