According to Clarke (2018), although the concessions enabled the country to resolve the 1876 contested presidential results involving Hayes and Tilden, it also frustrated the rising positive racial revolution within the southern states. As a result, the author agrees that this compromise determined the foundation of the divisive racial relations in the United States for nearly a decade.

(2021) report that Congress passed the 1906 “Pure Food and Drug Act” following this outrage to protect consumers. Its enactment has remained influential in shaping the food industry within the U.S. through its emphasis on ingredient labeling, dosage, and other safety measures.
