The correct answer is:
**In exchange for winning the election, Hayes would remove federal troops from the South.**
This arrangement was part of the Compromise of 1877, which resolved the disputed 1876 presidential election between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden. The withdrawal of federal troops effectively ended the Reconstruction era and allowed Southern states to manage their own affairs, often leading to the implementation of Jim Crow laws.
