Explanation:

The end of Reconstruction in 1877 with the removal of federal troops from the South led to a resurgence of violence against Black Americans. The Ku - Klux Klan, White League, and Red Shirts were already established before the end of Reconstruction in some cases, but with the withdrawal of federal protection, they were able to act more freely, resulting in the lynching of falsely accused Black Americans. Redeemers were conservative Democrats who sought to regain control of the South and did not safeguard Black civil rights. President Hayes' taking office in 1877 was part of the Compromise of 1877 that ended Reconstruction, and the removal of federal troops was a key part of that compromise. Enforcement Acts were passed earlier to protect Black civil rights during Reconstruction.

Answer:

A. The Ku Klux Klan, White League, and Red Shirts are formed. -> Falsely accused Black Americans are lynched in the South.
