No, they weren't. By the compromise of 1877, which is what you're talking about, the Compromise generation was long dead, with the exception of perhaps a few irrelevant 90 year olds.
If the compromise of 1877 hadn't happened, Tilden would have been President instead of Hayes, and the Jim Crow laws would have happened anyway.
