the compromise of 1877 required that federal troops do which of the following?

a. leave the southern states immediately

b. continue in the south until 1890

c. count all future election results

d. only remain in african american communities

Explanation:

The Compromise of 1877 was a political agreement that ended Reconstruction. A key part of it was the withdrawal of federal troops from the southern states (specifically South Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida) which effectively ended Reconstruction in the South. Option A states federal troops leave the southern states immediately, which aligns with this historical event. Option B is incorrect as there was no agreement to stay until 1890. Option C is incorrect as the compromise was about troop withdrawal, not election counting procedures. Option D is incorrect as the troops were not restricted to only African American communities.

Answer:

A. Leave the southern states immediately
