b: ongressmen and other radical republicans.
c: african americans, carpetbaggers, and scalawags.
d: african americans and southern democrats.

The correct answer is C. During Reconstruction, white supremacists in the South mostly targeted African Americans, carpetbaggers, and scalawags.

Explanation:

White supremacy was dominant in the United States both before and after the Civil War, and persisted for decades after Reconstruction. In the pre-war era in the South of the country, this included the slavery of much of the African-American population, with four million of them denied freedom. The outbreak of the Civil War saw the desire to defend white supremacy being cited as a cause for the secession of the state and the formation of the Confederate States of America.

During Reconstruction, the southern Democrats, white and pro slavery, found themselves in constant opposition to the Republican policies. They began to carry out demonstrations against the "carpetbaggers" (white from the north, settled in the south) and the "scalawags" (southern white Republicans), until they were gradually obtaining political positions in the southern local legislatures. Finally, in 1877, the Democrats were able to regain political positions in the south, with which these groups began to lose power and returned to the north. At the same time, with the return of political power, discrimination against African-Americans also returned.
