Who is correct, thank you so much.
To determine which options the Bourbon Democrats would likely support, we need to understand their political ideology and priorities during their time. The Bourbon Democrats were a faction of the Democratic Party during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily in the southern United States. They supported conservative policies and aimed to maintain white political and economic power.
1. Lower taxes: The Bourbon Democrats generally favored lower taxes, particularly for the wealthy elite. They believed in limited government intervention in the economy and preferred policies that promoted the interests of the upper class.
2. Less government spending: The Bourbon Democrats also sought to reduce government spending and limit the role of the state. They were often critical of government intervention and supported policies that allowed for a more laissez-faire approach to the economy.
3. Growth of industry: The Bourbon Democrats were not necessarily against the growth of industry, but their primary focus was on protecting and promoting the interests of the white elite. While they did support economic development, it was typically aimed at benefiting wealthy landowners and industrialists rather than promoting widespread industrial growth.
4. African American rights: The Bourbon Democrats were opposed to African American rights and equality. They actively worked to roll back the gains made by African Americans during Reconstruction, implemented segregation laws, and disenfranchised black voters through various means.
Based on these explanations, it is accurate to say that options 1 (lower taxes) and 4 (African American rights) would not align with the priorities of the Bourbon Democrats. Therefore, the correct answer is none of them apply.
