Answer: A

Explanation: The Compromise of 1877 was an unwritten deal that was informally arranged among U. S. Congressmen, which settled the intensely disputed 1876 presidential election. It resulted in the United States federal government pulling the last troops out of the South, formally ending the Reconstruction Era. Through this Compromise, Republican candidate Rutherford Hayes was declared winner over Democrat Samuel Tilden on the understanding that Hayes would remove the federal troops.

Essentially, the compromise stated that Southern Democrats would acknowledge Hayes as president only on the understanding that the Republicans would meet certain demands, and in exchange, the Democrats would accept Hayes as president by not employing the filibuster during the joint session of Congress needed to confirm the election.
