Question

Which were goals of the Bourbon Democrats? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

to diversify farming crops so the state didn’t rely solely on cotton

to attract investors from the North to build mills and factories in Georgia

Explanation:

The Bourbon Democrats were a subgroup of the Democratic party, which supported conservative ideas and had an interest in acting mainly in the south of the country.

The strongest goals of this subgroup were aimed at Georgia. This is because the members of this group wanted to make Georgia more independent from the northern states, expanding this independence to other states later on. For them, this independence should be achieved with agricultural diversity, growing crops in addition to cotton and through the investment of industries in the Georgian territory.
