Based on the excerpt, the conclusion that can be reached about U.S. goals in southern Africa during the mid-1980s is D- U.S. leaders hoped to bring about peaceful political change in South Africa.
To arrive at this conclusion, we analyze the information provided in the excerpt. It states that Congress approved economic sanctions against South Africa in order to force an end to apartheid. Sanctions are measures intended to make a country change its policies. Furthermore, American companies were forbidden to invest in South Africa or import South African products.
These actions suggest that the United States was using economic pressure to influence the government of South Africa and promote a change in its policy. By imposing these sanctions, U.S. leaders aimed to bring about peaceful political change in South Africa, ending the discriminatory apartheid system.
