The correct answer is "C".

The reconstruction was the period that the United States went through right after the end of the Civil War in 1865.

Through a series of negotiations that took many years, Samuel Tilden and Rutherford Hayes both agreed with the Democrats that they will grant concessions in the southern estates in exchange for the political power. Purchase on such lands was not seen as attractive by northern Democrats prior to these arrangements.
