Answer:

A. Homosexuals were considered susceptible to blackmail and thought to be lacking the manly qualities necessary to fight communism, is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The firing of homosexual government employees from the US government  was known as Lavender Scare. It was similar to the Second Red Scare. Homosexual men and women were considered to be community sympathizers and security risks. This term was popularized by David K. Johnson in his book The Lavender Scare.  Historians claim that there is more focus on Red Scare while studying the US history,but there is a lesser known element which was not known to people, It was the Lavender Scare.

How did Abraham Lincoln’s 10% Plan compare to the Radical Republicans’ plan for Reconstruction?
Nana76 [90]
Abraham Lincoln's plan for reconstruction included the Ten Percent Plan which specified that a southern state can be readmitted into the Union when there is an oath of allegiance from at least 10 percent of its voters. That includes all Southerners, except for high ranking Confederate army officers and government officials, be granted full pardon. This was Lincoln's way to end the war, unlike the Radical Republicans, Lincoln's Ten Percent plan didn't include punishing southerners, reorganizing society, developing industry, disbanding their planter aristocracy, redistribution of land in the South since the Radical Republicans wanted to punish the South for starting the war.
