Answer 1

Answer:

C) because of intervention by the federal government

Explanation:

African Americans lost many of the rights gained during Reconstruction by the late 1800s because of intervention by the federal government.

Anti-black violence, segregation, lynchings, and legal racial discrimination increased.

The Reconstruction period was one of a disappointment for African Americans as new provisions of the Constitution were often ignored in the South.
