Answer: B. Southern leaders like Tom Watson began an anti-Semitic campaign against Jewish businesses.
Explanation:
Leo Frank was an American Jew who was accused of killing 13-year-old, Mary Phagan who worked in a plant in which he was the Superintendent. The case saw a lot of anti-Semitism spread across the United States especially in the South as people believed that the Jews wanted Leo Frank freed regardless of whether he was guilty or innocent.
Tom Watson was a Southern leader from Georgia where he was the editor of the Jeffersonian. In response to his political rival supporting Leo Frank, he unleased an anti-Semitic campaign and spoke against Jewish businesses and when Frank was imprisoned instead of executed, called for Frank to be lynched.
Border ruffians contributed to the "bleeding Kansas" problem by actively terrorizing citizens of the free state. The Border ruffians came from the slave state of Missouri and in an attempt to change attitudes through force, they would actively terrorize opponents to their pro-slavery stance. The "bleeding Kansas" problem occurred as is was decided around the time of 1950 that the settlers themselves would choose whether Kansas was a free or slave state. This resulted in a flood of people from both sides rushing to settle Kansas in order to gain another state that aligned with their particular values. The period lasted until about 1959-60 and animosity persisted through the civil war.
