C. It jump-started the entire Reconstruction era for another two years.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Samuel Tilden didn't win the 1876 presidential election after a recount.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Compromise of 1877 was an informal pact reached in the United States in 1877 after the disputed presidential elections of the previous year between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel J. Tilden. According to the Compromise, and after several controversies among the polling stations about the results of the elections, it was agreed to grant the presidency to Hayes, in exchange for his regime accepting certain demands of the Democratic Party led by Tilden.
