President Truman had a very difficult decision to make in terms of dropping the atomic bomb. Before dropping the bomb, Truman was hoping to get an unconditional surrender from Japan after the demands made at the Potsdam Conference. However, Japan refused.
Instead of dropping the atomic bomb, he also considered an invasion of mainland Japan. However, this invasion was estimated to have millions of casualties total and would have resulted in the deaths of thousands of Allied forces and Japanese military personnel.
Ultimately Truman decides to drop bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, effectively ending World War II. Even though this was a weapon of massive destruction, he argued that this actually saved lives. He used the estimated number of deaths/casualties from the possible land invasion to justify his decision.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The goal of the Southern "Redemption" was for southern whites to take the power back and establish their supremacy over African Americans in the southern states.
We are talking about a moment at the end of Reconstruction in America when the Union allowed a relatively easy transition for former Confederate states to do their own Reconstruction process. The "White Redemption" aimed at getting their political power back. The goal of the southern was to establish white supremacy in the south, limiting the rights of African Americans and supporting the legislation as the Jim Crow laws.
From 1870 to approximately 1910, rich white people from the south like the owners of the large plantations supported those laws and the creation of supremacists, violent, and extremists groups such as the Ku Klux Klan.
