D) The government was controlled by the elite landowners who grew coffee.
Explanation:
The financial power of the rural aristocracies of Minas Gerais and São Paulo, growing during the previous century, had allowed its politicians to acquire national projection. In this way, the <em>politics of the coffee with milk </em><em>("Política do Café com Leite" in Portuguese. A name given by historians to the political behavior of the country back then)</em> consolidated the power of the more affluent families, forming the oligarchies. Those from the state of São Paulo and the state of Minas Gerais occupied the positions of President of the Republic, Vice President and Ministries of Justice, of the Finance and the Agriculture, among others.
Even after the federal implementation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, there were certain racial discrimination and atrocities occurring in some parts of the country.
One such incident took place in a bowling Alley in Orangeburg, South Carolina where the owner refused to implement the federal law of desegregation at his bowling alley.
Few students started protesting against the policy of the bowling alley on February 5, 1968 and by 9th February, the protest escalated to hundreds of protesters.
Situation worsened and the National Guard troops were ordered to take actions which eventually resulted in the The Orangeburg Massacre.
