The event that formally ended the period of Reconstruction in 1877 was:
**c. removal of federal troops from the South.**
This occurred as part of the Compromise of 1877, which resolved the disputed presidential election of 1876 and led to the withdrawal of federal troops from Southern states, effectively ending Reconstruction.
