Analyze the question prompt

The question asks which diagram correctly shows one result of ending Reconstruction in the American South.

Evaluate Option A

Using the Enforcement Acts and Reconstruction Era knowledge points

• The Enforcement Acts were passed during Reconstruction (1870–1871) to protect Black citizens' voting rights, not as a result of ending it.

Evaluate Option B

Using the Jim Crow Laws and Reconstruction Era knowledge points

• Jim Crow laws restricted civil rights rather than growing them.

Evaluate Option C

Using the Reconstruction Era and Ku Klux Klan Act knowledge points

• The end of federal military occupation allowed white supremacist groups to operate with impunity, leading to increased voter intimidation.

Evaluate Option D

Using the Reconstruction Era knowledge point

• Ulysses S. Grant was president during Reconstruction, not after it ended, and the postwar Southern economy remained severely depressed.

Answer:

• (A) Enforcement Acts are passed. -> Black Americans are segregated.

• (C) Ku Klux Klan grows larger. -> Intimidation of Black voters grows. (Correct answer)
