Assuming the question asks which of the following is found in the sentence, neither A. a dependent clause or C. a subordinating conjunction exist in the sentence, so the only possible answer is B. an independent clause.
"The harsh wind scoured the scant remaining leaves from the trees" ⇒ This is an independent clause because it represents a complete thought.
"<span>a desolate landscape remained in its wake</span>" ⇒ This is also an independent clause.
", and" ⇒ This is a coordinating conjunction, connecting two independent clauses.

My reaction to this quote is that Abraham Lincoln is referring to the ideal that once people have power they tend to abuse it for their advantage, and personal gain. For Example, gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is the manipulation of the county sizing and grouping in states by the Legislative branch to guarantee their reelection into federal or state offices. A typically Democratic city perhaps may be grouped or redrawn to conjoin with a vastly Republican populated area, creating a larger group of supporters of one party, and a polarized county.
