Answer:

The southern Democrats legislated Jim Crow laws, which segregated black people from the white

population

Explanation:

During the Reconstruction period of 1865–1877, federal law provided civil rights protection in the U.S. South for freedmen, the African Americans who had formerly been slaves.

So In the 1870s, Democrats gradually returned to power in the Southern states, sometimes as a result of elections in which paramilitary groups intimidated opponents, attacking blacks or preventing them from voting.

Gubernatorial elections were close and disputed in Louisiana for years, with extreme violence being unleashed during the campaigns.

In 1877, a national compromise to gain Southern support in the presidential election resulted in the last of the federal troops being withdrawn from the South.

White Democrats had regained political power in every Southern state. These conservative, white, Democratic Redeemer governments legislated Jim Crow laws, which segregated black people from the white population, and upheld them constitutionally as “separate but equal” rights.

Still, most Southerners, black and white, remained trapped in an “Old South” of poverty . Losing Ground in Education During Reconstruction.

During the late 1800s, the majority of unskilled workers in urban areas lived in
svetlana [45]

Overpopulation occurred during the First Industrial Revolution, but with the improvement of working conditions in the late 1800s, shortening working hours, the situation improved somewhat and the middle class emerged. This was achieved by many strikes by trade unions and workers. The middle class were skilled workers, officers, accountants and others. Because of better conditions and salary increases, they could meet basic living needs, and save money for other things. So they slowly began to move out of urban areas near unhygienic city neighborhoods. Unlike them, unskilled workers remained in unhygienic urban neighborhoods and lived in city tenements.
