Explanation:

After the Civil War, during Reconstruction, Georgia faced issues related to political instability. Racial violence was prevalent, and there was widespread political fraud. When African - American legislators were removed from the General Assembly, it led to a situation where the federal government saw a need to re - impose military control. This was because such actions (racial violence and political fraud) violated the principles of Reconstruction and the rights of African - Americans that the federal government was trying to protect.

Answer:

A. Racial violence and widespread political fraud followed in the wake of the forced removal of African American legislators from the General Assembly.
