a. african americans faced the loss of progress they had gained.

b. it left good feelings between northern and southern states.

c. african americans were satisfied with the progress they had gained.

d. it left the south mostly in control of northern leaders.

Explanation:

• Option A: After Reconstruction ended, with the withdrawal of federal troops and the rise of Jim Crow laws, African Americans lost many of the political, social, and economic gains they had made during Reconstruction.
• Option B: The end of Reconstruction was marked by tensions and unresolved issues between the North and South, not "good feelings."
• Option C: African Americans faced increased discrimination and loss of rights, so they were not satisfied with losing progress.
• Option D: The end of Reconstruction meant the South was more in control of its own (often white - dominated) leadership, not northern leaders.

Answer:

A. African Americans faced the loss of progress they had gained.
