r u sure
I apologize for the confusion. Let me reevaluate the options:
A. Tom Watson & the populists wanted to support farmers - This statement is true. Tom Watson and the populists were a political movement that aimed to support farmers and working-class individuals.
B. Henry Grady wanted to diversify the state and sought northern investors through events like the cotton expos - This statement is true. Henry Grady was a key figure in promoting the idea of the New South and attracting northern investors to the region.
C. The Bourbon Triumvirate believed that prosperity depended on manufacturing rather than cotton - This statement is true. The Bourbon Triumvirate, composed of Joseph E. Brown, Alfred H. Colquitt, and John B. Gordon, were proponents of industrial development and diversifying the economy away from agriculture.
Given these evaluations, the correct answer is actually:
D. There was a massive push towards integration and equality between races - This statement is NOT true of the New South era. The New South era was characterized by racial segregation, discrimination, and the implementation of Jim Crow laws, rather than a push towards integration and racial equality. Thank you for clarifying.
