Answer 2

Answer:

C. Continued military occupation of the southern states

Explanation:

The Ku Klux Klan was responsible for a great deal of violence during Reconstruction. Though many Southerners approved of the Klan's actions early on, a backlash eventually occurred when the violence escalated to a level most felt to be unacceptable. At this time, Southerners started to blame the Klan for the continued presence of Northern troops throughout the South. These troops had originally been sent to the South to ensure Reconstruction Acts were being enforced.
