Question

The domination of Texas politics by Republicans after the Civil War ended (a) with the election of governor Richard Coke in 1873. (b) with the victory of the Populist Party in 1892. (c) in 1888, with violent riots by farmers in Houston, Dallas, and Austin. (d) through a peaceful transfer of power in 1900.

Answer 1

Answer:

In an armed standoff in the capital between the Republican governor and the Democratic legislature in 1872.

Explanation:

Before the domination ended, the republican representatives in this state always won by republican party in a land slide. But the resentment that people have due to the civil war divided the state's opinion on some issues. This resulted in a standoff between the two parties. Even though eventually the Republican still won the election, the total votes between the two only separated by small margin.
