Question

question 3 of 10
what goal united the democrats in the south in the late 1800s?

a. taking power away from the republican party
b. finding common ground with the federal government
c. developing more industry
d. starting more farms

Explanation:

In the late 1800s, the South was largely opposed to the Republican Party's policies (like Reconstruction - era policies). Democrats in the South aimed to regain political power by reducing the Republican Party's influence. Option B is incorrect as the South often had tensions with the federal government (especially Republican - led). Options C and D were not the uniting goal for Southern Democrats at that time; their main political goal was to take power from the Republicans.

Answer:

A. Taking power away from the Republican Party
