Answer 1

After Rutherford B. Hayes became president in 1877, he:

b removed federal troops from the South.

This decision effectively ended the Reconstruction era and allowed Southern states to regain control, which led to the establishment of Jim Crow laws and the disenfranchisement of African American voters in the South.
