Answer 1

The correct answer is D; Southern state governments had taken steps to keep former slaves in inferior political, social,  and economic statuses.

Further Explanation:

The states in the South were taking steps to keep all the former slaves from having the same rights as the white people. They were using the "Black Codes" that were made in 1865, two years before the reconstruction started.

The reconstruction did not end up helping the black people who were trying to find regular jobs, because the southern employers would still not hire them. After the reconstruction ended, southern states then started the Jim Crow laws.
