Answer 2

The correct answer is the letter A. The result of this illegal action is that Georgia was placed under military control the following year. This was made with the objective to make sure that the programs (created by republicans) intended for reconstruction were followed by the southern states; knowing that famine, drought and anarchy were problems that the people of Georgia were facing as the war ended, as well as the racial tension compared to the northern states.
