d the freedmens bureau had a large influence on state politics.

Explanation:

In 1868 Georgia, the expulsion of elected African American lawmakers (backed by some Republicans, showing political lines were crossed) reveals that race was a more powerful factor than party affiliation. The other options are irrelevant: labor unions, social vs economic priorities, and Freedmen's Bureau influence are not supported by this event.

Answer:

C. Race was viewed as more important than political affiliation.
