The correct answer is B) cowardly.

The word pusillanimous most likely means cowardly.

When Thomas Jefferson expressed: "The pusillanimous idea that we had friends in England worth keeping terms with, still haunted the minds of many," he tried to say that the coward idea of thinking that they had friends was out of his mind.

He received the help of the Committee formed by Robert Livingstone, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and John Adams.

What goal united the Democrats in the south in the late 1800s
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The Democrats in the south in the late 1800s were united by the goal of preventing black people from voting after the Reconstruction.

Explanation:

Southern Democrats were white men that believed in an equal political policy for all white men (opposed to the supremacy of elites, that is, reduced groups of powerful men). This was called Jacksonian Democracy since it was promoted by the seventh American president Andrew Jackson. However, they did not apply this idea of equality to all men since their goal in the late 1800s was to forbid black people to register and vote <em>after the Reconstruction period</em>. During this period slavery was ended and all former slaves were given certain civil rights. Before this era, especially during the first part of the 1800s, the Democrats promoted the expansion of slavery.
