following?

a. african americans who left the south

b. farmers who used certain techniques to farm cotton

Explanation:

During the Reconstruction era after the Civil War, "scalawags" were white Southerners who supported the Republican Party, and "carpetbaggers" were Northerners who moved to the South and also supported the Republican Party. Option A is incorrect as these terms don't relate to African Americans leaving the South. Option B is incorrect as they have nothing to do with cotton farming techniques. Option C is incorrect as Confederate soldiers generally opposed the Republican - supported Reconstruction. Option D accurately describes the group associated with scalawags (white Southern Republicans) and carpetbaggers (Northern Republicans in the South) as they both gave support to the Republican Party in the South.

Answer:

D. People who gave support to the Republican Party in the South
