Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is D because locking the doors to legislature buildings and meeting secretly in other facilities was not a documented strategy used by opponents of Reconstruction to challenge it. The other options (A, B, C, E) were indeed tactics used by those opposing Reconstruction efforts, including supporting factions within the Republican Party that were more sympathetic to their views, using violence and intimidation to suppress African American voting, publicly criticizing the new state constitutions to undermine their legitimacy, and challenging the eligibility of black legislators to prevent them from taking or holding office.
