Question 11 • (AG Q4) American History 8: 25-26 (AHostetler)

How did the Supreme Court contribute to the Redeemer’s agenda?

Answer
A
The Court strengthened the Fourteenth Amendment.
B
The Court struck down part of the Civil Rights Act that prevented discrimination.
C
The Court instituted the Jim Crow laws that made discrimination in the South legal.

Explanation

In the 1883 Civil Rights Cases, the Supreme Court struck down parts of the Civil Rights Act of 1875 that barred racial discrimination in places such as hotels and theaters. This limited federal protection for Black Americans and supported the Redeemers’ efforts to restore white Democratic control in the South. The Court did not directly institute Jim Crow laws, so choice C overstates its role.
