Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The Compromise of 1877 brought an end to radical reconstruction by providing for the removal of Federal troops from southern states.

Explanation:

The Compromise of 1877 was an informal pact reached in the United States after the disputed presidential elections of 1876 between the republican Rutherford B. Hayes and the democrat Samuel J. Tilden. According to the "compromise", and after several controversies among the polling stations on the results of the elections, it was agreed to grant the presidency to Hayes, in exchange for his regime accepting certain demands of the Democratic Party led by Tilden; among them, removing Federal troops from the South.
