Explanation:

The Compromise of 1877 was a political deal that resolved the disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election. As part of this compromise, federal troops were withdrawn from the South, effectively ending the Reconstruction Era. The Enforcement Acts were laws passed during Reconstruction to protect African - American rights. The Fifteenth Amendment (1870) granted African - American men the right to vote. The election of 1876 was the catalyst for the Compromise of 1877, but it was the Compromise itself that ended Reconstruction.

B. the Compromise of 1877
