Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Some southern whites walked out of the presidential convention when blacks spoke. While there may have been some acceptance of blacks in subordinate positions, the fact that some whites walked out of the convention when black members spoke suggests a higher level of resistance and tension towards their increased presence in the Democratic Party. Option B is incorrect as it is factually inaccurate - blacks were formally allowed to participate in the Democratic Party. Option D is also incorrect as there is no evidence given to suggest that whites organized a violent action to get rid of blacks.
