To bring about radical change for its participants
Redemptive social movements are usually religious in nature and only have a limited focus. It aims to radically change an individual’s behavior thus changing the entire person. Examples of redemptive movements are fundamentalist religious movements and cults. In some religions, there is an emphasis on being “born again”. This state implies that a complete individual transformation or a radical inner change is expected from the person. Perhaps the best example would be the spread of Christianity all over the world through the work of missionaries.
Answer:
Under the Black Codes, all Black people, convicts or not, were subject to curfews set by their local governments. Even their day-to-day movements were heavily dictated by the state. Black farm workers were required to carry passes from their employers, and meetings Black people took part in were overseen by local officials.
Explanation:
It was the white people vs the black people. That was the main reason

Option: d. how the Red Scare extended into the 1920s.
Explanation:
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were involved in shooting in a Shoe company and were put in trial and executed in 1927. During the 1920s America was fearful of communist and radical politics. The result of this fearful was anti-communist, anti-immigrant among the Americans.
Sacco and Vanzetti tried to put this anxiety among the Americans by taking the benefit of the situation and tried to get support from the left-wing. Money was raised for their support by the left-wing around the world.

Social dichotomies
In a previous posting I have advanced a thesis. Institutionalized bilingualism is divisive and unfortunate, as seen in Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, and Sri Lanka. Provided that there is a single dominant language, multilingualism is much less corrosive. In the Roman Empire Latin fulfilled this role; in Switzerland German has this status de facto. This contrast is why I view the coming bilingual regime in this country with foreboding.
There are more general patterns of social dichotomy. Anthropologists have observed moieties in tribal societies. In a given village about half the people belong, say, to the eagle clan, the other half to the wolf clan.
Such social dichotomies are common the microworld of academia, where departments tend to split into two factions. A friend who taught in the music department of several major universities noted that in each instance the faculty tended to divide up into composers and musicologists, on the one hand, and executants (conductors, singers, instrumentalists), on the other. This might be termed a structural dichotomy. Elsewhere there is a split between the professors who favor emphasizing undergraduate education as opposed to those who stress development of graduate teaching and research. Sometimes the division reflects the politics of the outside world. A friend who did graduate work in Spanish at a major university said that the faculty tended to divide between the supporters of Gabriel García Márquez and Pablo Neruda, on the one hand, and advocates of J. L. Borges and Mario Vargas Llosa, on the other. The student could tell the instructor’s politics from the reading list. The first group favored the Left, the second the Right. For want of a better term, all the divisions noted in this paragraph may be termed natural ones, as they have some objective basis.
