Explanation:

1. "Redemption" for white southern Democrats meant regaining political control from Republicans, often through suppressing African - American voting rights and other means.
2. The Civil Rights Act of 1870/1871 aimed to protect the civil rights of African - Americans, not take them away. The Homestead Act was about land distribution, not civil rights violations. Ending slavery was not related to taking away civil rights.
3. Poll taxes were a method used by southern Democrats to disenfranchise Black people as they often could not afford to pay the tax to vote.

Answer:

1. b) Regaining political control from Republicans
2. c) The Civil Rights Act of 1870/1871
3. b) Poll taxes
