It is c
The correct answer is: The Compromise of 1877 affected the political participation of African Americans by leading to the rollback of their rights. The answer is option D: The president, who was a Southern Democrat, began to oversee a rollback of African American rights.
To arrive at this answer, let's break down the options:
Option A: Southern legislatures, which were given power in the compromise, failed to persecute the Ku Klux Klan. This option does not directly address the political participation of African Americans.
Option B: The Freedmen's Bureau, which encouraged civic programs for freed slaves, was given more funding. While this option suggests positive support for African Americans, it does not specifically address their political participation.
Option C: The military, which had protected African American rights, was removed from the South. This option deals with the removal of military protection, but it does not directly address the impact on political participation.
Option D: The president, who was a Southern Democrat, began to oversee a rollback of African American rights. This option explicitly states that African American rights were rolled back under the administration of a Southern Democrat president, which directly affects their ability to participate politically.
Therefore, option D is the correct answer because it directly addresses the impact of the Compromise of 1877 on the political participation of African Americans.
