The Compromise of 1877 ended the Reconstruction era with the withdraw of federal troops from the southern states.

The Purpose of Tuskegee University was to educate African Americans.

Explanation:

The dispute in the Presidential election during 1876 led the government to introduce the compromise of 1877. The Compromise was a deal between Democrats and the Republicans to settle election and end the Reconstruction in the South. In return, the Southern agreed to provide equal rights for African Americas with Rutherford Hayes as President of America.

The Tuskegee Institute was one of the first Training institutes opened for the African Americans in 1881. The slaves were freedmen but didn't have any skills and knowledge as free people. Schools set to support African Americans by providing them training in carpentry, brick making, agriculture, home economics, and to become teachers.
