Question

question 2 of 10
as southern democrats gained power they ignored the violent activities of
groups such as:

a. exodusters.

b. the radical republicans.

c. the ku klux klan.

d. carpetbaggers.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Exodusters were African Americans migrating from the South, not a violent group ignored by southern Democrats.
• Option B: Radical Republicans were a political faction pushing for civil rights, opposing southern Democrats, so not ignored for violence.
• Option C: The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) engaged in violent acts against African Americans and Republicans. Southern Democrats, seeking power and often aligned with white supremacist views, ignored KKK violence to maintain white dominance.
• Option D: Carpetbaggers were Northerners moving South after the Civil War, not a violent group ignored by southern Democrats.

Answer:

C. the Ku Klux Klan
