a. he argued for land redistribution.
b. he argued that democrats should have more power.
c. he argued that former confederates should be punished harshly.
d. he argued that whites and blacks should work together.

Explanation:

Hiram Rhodes Revels was an advocate for racial cooperation. He believed in building a united society where different races could collaborate. This was in line with his efforts during Reconstruction to promote a more inclusive and harmonious social order. Revels' stance was focused on unity rather than punitive measures (as in option C) or power - shifting in a narrow political sense (option B). Land redistribution (option A) was not a central argument of his in the Senate. His main message was about the joint work of whites and Blacks for the betterment of society.

Answer:

D. He argued that whites and Blacks should work together.
