Why were Democrats angry after the presidential election of 1876?

The 1876 elections infuriated the Democrats because they thought their candidate had truly won.

Democrats believed that Samuel J. Tilden, their candidate, had won the election, which was made worse by the fact that he had a larger share of the popular vote. Rutherford B. Hayes managed to negotiate despite this and win the Electoral college. The votes were settled by an informal, "back-room" agreement known as the Compromise of 1877.

In exchange for the Republicans agreeing to evacuate federal troops from the South, which put an end to Reconstruction, the Democrats granted to Hayes 20 of the disputed electoral votes, giving him an 185–184 win.

Republican Hayes lost the popular vote to Democratic Tilden in the 1876 election, which the Republicans won with 1 electoral vote. People were nevertheless opposed to Hayes' close victory, and many Democrats expressed concerns, which had an impact on Reconstruction.

Answer: A. Klan members had official and unofficial political power

Explanation:

Klan members in the 1920's had succeeded in getting into political positions and they also had political backers in various states. This gave them both official and unofficial political power and therefore made it difficult to go after them.

This was added to the fact that Klan activities in terrorizing Black Americans was not frowned upon in public by the white population of Southern America so they felt emboldened to continue.
