The Hamburg Massacre (or Hamburg Riot) was a key event in South Carolina during July 1876, leading up to the last election season of the Reconstruction era. It was the first of a series of civil disturbances, many of which Democrats planned in the majority-black/Republican Edgefield District, to disrupt Republican meetings and suppress black voting through actual and threatened violence.[1]

Beginning with a dispute nominally over free passage on a public road, this incident was based on racial and political grounds. A court hearing attracted armed white militia numbering more than one hundred, including members of Red Shirts paramilitary groups.

Answer:

D) Warn or remind his congregation that the nation as a whole must repent their sins and ask forgiveness from God to escape hell.

Explanation:

Christian Theologian Jonathan Edwards’ sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" presents an appeal to the people of Massachusetts to deviate from their sinful nature and come back to the right and "Christian" way of life. This sermon successfully and profoundly affected the listeners, the congregation with Edwards's 'frightful' presentation of an angry God.

In the given excerpt from the sermon, Edwards presents an image of a God who is fearful of those who choose to deviate from His right ways. In this sermon, Edwards serves a reminder to the people to repent their sinful ways and return to God, or else their fate is to be destroyed and perish eternally in Hell. He warns them to seek forgiveness while there is still time so that they will not be judged by God's wrath.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
