A. They feared the consequences of African Americans having political power.
Explanation:
To disenfranchise means to take away a person's right to vote. This was always an issue with African Americans during the Reconstruction. The Southern Democrats were worried that giving the African Americans the right to vote would encourage their participation in politics, which would in turn challenge their political strategies and policies. The Democrats did everything they could to prevent black men from registering to vote despite the fact that the 15th Amendment gave them suffrage.
... because they opposed the United States becoming a member of the League of Nations.
The League of Nations was the signature idea of President Woodrow Wilson, point #14 of his 14 Points, an international peacekeeping association which he recommended for post-war settlements. The Treaty of Versailles adopted that idea, but back home in the United States, there was not support for involving America in any association that could diminish US sovereignty over its own affairs or involve the US again in wars beyond those pertinent to the United States' own national security.
"Uncle Sam" originally came into use during the war of 1812.
