Explanation:

In the 1870s, the term "Redemption" for white Southerners was about restoring the Democratic Party's power and the interests of wealthy white Southerners, reversing the Reconstruction-era changes. Option B is incorrect as it's about Native Americans and not related to Redemption. Option C is wrong as Redemption wasn't about reconciling with Northern states. Option D is incorrect as white Southerners during this time were not focused on friendship with African Americans but on reasserting white dominance.

Answer:

A. Bringing the Democratic Party and the interests of rich whites back to power
