The election campaign was a referendum on the Radical Republican-led state government and their Reconstruction policies. The result was contested, but the challenger Wade Hampton III took office in April 1877 after President Hayes withdrew federal troops and the incumbent Daniel Henry Chamberlain left the state. Governor Chamberlain's inability to preserve the peace as riots were breaking out across the state, most notably the Hamburg Massacre, led many black and white voters to support the Democratic ticket in November. The turbulent atmosphere ended before election day, which was peaceful. Wade Hampton emerged as the Democratic candidate chosen to redeem the state from Republican rule. The election was disputed and a prolonged contest ensued as both parties established separate governments. Chamberlain lost most of his support and was in early 1877 kept in office by Federal troops guarding the state capitol. When President Rutherford B.
