Correct

Answer 14

From this paragraph:

"The KKK’s reign was short-lived, its decline hastened by the revulsion of many southerners to its extreme methods and suppression by local governments. By 1868, its power was beginning to wane. In 1871 Congress passed the Klu Klux Klan Act that authorized the use of federal troops in the Klan’s suppression and for the trial of its members in federal court. The Klan melted away, or a least did not make any further public appearances until its revival in 1915."

Answer 32

The sheriff question seems like a more subjective question for you to answer, rather than look for a specific sentence explaining why (in the article). But try to rely on some facts.

Answer 33

idk im confused

Answer 34

Like, really, why do you think it took him so long?

Answer 35

I would look for some facts relating to the public/general populations fear of the KKK, then relating that to why it took the sheriff so long.

Ciao for now though. Heading home :P
