Explanation:

During the Reconstruction era, the Republican Party was associated with supporting the rights of African Americans, including their political participation. Most African Americans elected to public office during this time aligned with the Republican Party, as the Democratic Party in the South was often resistant to Black political empowerment, the American Party (Know - Nothings) had nativist focuses, and the Free - Soil Party was more about opposing slavery's expansion in the pre - Civil War era.

C. The Republican Party
