Question

1
what was the consequence of the georgia general assemblys expulsion of its african american members during reconstruction?
a) the ku klux klan disbanded after achieving its goal.
b) georgias legislature restricted the rights of african americans.
c) georgias economy entered a severe depression.
d) the federal government put the state under martial law.

Explanation:

During Reconstruction, after Georgia's General Assembly expelled its African American members, the federal government took action to force Georgia to reinstate these members and comply with Reconstruction-era laws protecting Black political rights. Option A is incorrect because the KKK did not disband then; Option B is an action taken before the expulsion's consequence, not the result of the expulsion; Option C is unrelated to this specific political event.

Answer:

D. The federal government put the state under martial law.
