Answer: FLORIDA

Explanation:

In the 1870s, the Southern Democrats exercised their power through paramilitary organizations which were the  White League and Red Shirts,  These paramilitary groups turned out to be Republican officers and they assassinated other freedmen so as alter voting during election.

Only three Southern states – Louisiana, South Carolina, and Florida were  not yet taken over by white Democrats by time of  the presidential election in 1876, which was  between Rutherford B. Hayes (the Republican governor of Ohio) and Samuel J. Tilden (the Democratic governor of New York).

by 1877, however, the election was resolved after the disputes in 1876 by adopting  a Compromise known as  Corrupt Bargain. Here,  it was alleged that , Hayes became President in exchange for numerous favors to the South, especially the  removal of Federal troops from the remaining “unredeemed” Southern states which was  an important highlight in his campaign. With the removal of these forces, Reconstruction  ended.
