Question

Why did some republican governors appoint white democrat to office during the reconstruction?

Answer 1

The republican governors most likely did not appoint the people to office purely because they were white or democrats. One reason may be to create some diversity within the office.

Answer 2

I looked it up a little, and it said that the democrats were like republicans in disguise

Answer 3

and to add diversity, I treat politics like Evolution, and that is not 'selfish' enough
