Question

question 3 of 10
as southern democrats gained power they ignored the violent activities of
groups such as:

a. exodusters.

b. carpetbaggers.

c. the ku klux klan.

d. the radical republicans.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Exodusters were African Americans who migrated, not a violent group ignored by southern Democrats.
• Option B: Carpetbaggers were Northerners in the South after the Civil War, not a violent group in the context.
• Option C: The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) engaged in violent acts against African Americans and Republicans. As southern Democrats regained power, they often ignored KKK's violence to maintain white supremacy.
• Option D: Radical Republicans were a political faction pushing for Reconstruction, not a violent group ignored by southern Democrats.

Answer:

C. the Ku Klux Klan.
