Answer:

After the Compromise, northern troops were removed from the South, which left African Americans with no legal protections.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Compromise of 1877 brought forth the removal of federal troops from the South, protection of African Americans' newly gained rights, and ultimately ended the Reconstruction. White rule returned to the South and caused disenfranchisement (the limiting of a person's political rights,) and Jim Crow segregation laws made it difficult for African Americans to utilize their rights for many years after the Civil War.
