question 7
why did southern democrats start to pull support from the new deal in the late 1930s?
southern leaders hoped to terminate segregation on its own terms.
these leaders feared union membership would increase in the south.
most rural southern homes had gained electricity.
the souths economy was the most robust in the united states.
they thought franklin roosevelt was too friendly toward nazi germany.

Explanation:

Southern Democrats opposed labor union growth as it could disrupt the region's economic and social order (which relied on low - wage labor and segregation). The New Deal had policies that supported workers' rights (like the National Labor Relations Act), which southern leaders feared would lead to more union membership in the South.

• The first option is incorrect as southern leaders were not hoping to end segregation.
• The third option (rural homes getting electricity) was a result of some New Deal programs (like the Rural Electrification Administration), but not a reason for pulling support.
• The South's economy was not the most robust in the US during the 1930s.
• There is no basis for the claim that Roosevelt was too friendly to Nazi Germany as a reason for southern Democrats pulling support from the New Deal.

Answer:

These leaders feared union membership would increase in the South.
