question 10 of 10
southerners who were for redemption wanted which of the following?
a. to make up for all the years they held slaves
b. to apologize for leaving the union
c. to make all the african americans christians
d. to return power to the white democrats

Explanation:

During the Reconstruction era, the "Redemption" movement in the South was aimed at overthrowing Republican state governments and returning political power to white Democrats. Option A is incorrect as Redemption was not about atoning for slavery. Option B is wrong as they didn't seek to apologize for secession. Option C is irrelevant as religious conversion of African Americans wasn't the goal of Redemption. Option D aligns with the goal of Redemption to restore white Democratic control.

Answer:

D. To return power to the white Democrats
