False.
The Bargain of 1877 did not decide the election of 1876 in favor of the Republicans. In fact, the Bargain of 1877 was an informal agreement that effectively ended Reconstruction by withdrawing federal troops from the South and allowing Democrats to regain control in exchange for Rutherford B. Hayes becoming president. This agreement marked the end of Reconstruction and led to the removal of federal oversight in the South, ultimately allowing Southern states to enact discriminatory laws known as Jim Crow laws.
Therefore, the statement implying that the Bargain of 1877 decided the election of 1876 in favor of the Republicans is incorrect.
