Reconstruction,

which lasted from 1865 to 1877, was an ambitious attempt by the federal government to rebuild the South after the Civil War and help formerly enslaved people. Read the passage about Reconstruction. Then answer the question below.

During Reconstruction, the Republican-controlled Congress passed laws to protect African American citizens' rights to vote and own property. The Freedmen's Bureau provided supplies, legal support, and education for formerly enslaved people. During this time, U.S. soldiers remained stationed in the South to enforce the law and protect African American people's rights.

The Freedmen's Bureau ended in 1872 due to complaints about the cost. Reconstruction itself ended in 1877 when federal troops were removed from the South. The southern Democratic Party, which had opposed Reconstruction, took advantage of the removal of federal troops to recreate the legal, economic, and social separation of the races that existed under slavery. This separation is called segregation. The system of laws and practices that enforced segregation from the 1870s to the 1960s is called Jim Crow.

According to the passage, which of the following were consequences of the end of Reconstruction for African American people? Select

two.

African American voters in the Democratic Party forced Republican Party politicians out of office.

After a contested election, the Freedmen's Bureau was revived by both Democrats and Republicans.

Without federal troops to enforce the law, African American rights were threatened.

Politicians in the Democratic Party created a system of segregation in the South.
