Question

question 5 of 10
the compromise of 1877 required that federal troops do which of the following?
a. continue in the south until 1890
b. count all future election results
c. leave the southern states immediately
d. only remain in african american communities

Explanation:

The Compromise of 1877 was an informal, unwritten deal that settled the disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election. One of its key provisions was the withdrawal of federal troops from the southern states (specifically South Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida) which had been there to enforce Reconstruction policies. Option A is incorrect as there was no such 1890 deadline. Option B is not related to troop actions. Option D is also incorrect as the compromise wasn't about troops staying only in African American communities. So the correct answer is about troops leaving the southern states immediately.

Answer:

C. Leave the southern states immediately
