question 9 of 10
what goal united the democrats in the south in the late 1800s?
a. starting more farms
b. developing more industry
c. finding common ground with the federal government
d. taking power away from the republican party

Explanation:

In the late 1800s, the South was predominantly Democratic - leaning, and a major goal of Southern Democrats was to reduce the influence and power of the Republican Party, which had been associated with Reconstruction policies and had more support from Northern interests and African - American voters in the South at that time. Starting more farms (A) and developing more industry (B) were not the uniting goals of Southern Democrats. Also, finding common ground with the federal government (C) was not a key uniting goal as Southern Democrats often had tensions with the federal government over issues related to Reconstruction and states' rights. So the goal that united the Democrats in the South in the late 1800s was taking power away from the Republican Party.

Answer:

D. Taking power away from the Republican Party
