I think the answer could be A. Not sure tho -_-

It's D!

anonymous · Answer

Sorry for such a late answer, but it's definitely D. After the Civil War, white people realized that blacks had a larger population than they did. It made them feel threatened and so they scrambled to place a bunch of laws to have blacks not have as many rights as white people.

White people sure were scared of being a minority.
