The correct answer is: The president would be a Republican, and federal troops would be removed from the South.
This arrangement was part of the Compromise of 1877, which resolved the disputed presidential election of 1876 between Rutherford B. Hayes (Republican) and Samuel J. Tilden (Democrat). The compromise effectively ended Reconstruction by withdrawing federal troops from Southern states.
