A. They feared the consequences of African Americans having political power.
Explanation:
To disenfranchise means to take away a person's right to vote. This was always an issue with African Americans during the Reconstruction.

The Democrats did everything they could to prevent black men from registering to vote despite the fact that the 15th Amendment gave them suffrage.
Besides silk, the Chinese also exported (sold) teas, salt, sugar, porcelain, and spices. Most of what was traded was expensive luxury goods.

So in short:
Who: Organizations whose main goals were getting and keeping power.
What: They essentially bribed immigrants for their votes.
Why: Political Machines did this to stay in power.
