The correct answer is D) African Americans won Congressional and state legislative representation from Southern states.

During the era of Reconstruction, African-American received the right to vote thanks to the 15th amendment. Since African-Americans received the right to vote, they now had the opportunity to vote for any candidate they wanted. Due to this new found freedom, many African-American males ran for positions in government. This resulted in the election of the African American Senators  like Hiram Revels and Blanche K Bruce.

Answer:

B) Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller

Explanation:

The term <em>social Darwinism</em> refers to a group of theories that began appearing in the 1870s in Western Europe, the United Kingdom, and North America. According to these theories, the concepts of survival of the fittest and natural selection didn't have to apply only to the world of biology, but sociology and politics as well. Social Darwinists, like Andrew Carnegie, the leader of expansion of American steel industry and one of the richest Americans to have ever lived, and John D. Rockefeller, also an industrialist, who is considered to be the richest person in modern history, believed that certain people could become powerful in society because they are inherently better than others.
