Federal troops sent by President Grant arrived within days, prompting the White League to retreat before their arrival and restoring the elected Republican government.
Kellogg wired for federal troops, and President Ulysses S. Grant sent them within three days. The White League insurgents retreated from New Orleans before the federal troops arrived, and the elected government was restored. No one was prosecuted for the violence, which resulted in at least 35 deaths, including 21 White League members.
