Answer 2

Answer: B. Southern leaders like Tom Watson began an anti-Semitic campaign against Jewish businesses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Leo Frank was an American Jew who was accused of killing 13-year-old, Mary Phagan who worked in a plant in which he was the Superintendent. The case saw a lot of anti-Semitism spread across the United States especially in the South as people believed that the Jews wanted Leo Frank freed regardless of whether he was guilty or innocent.

Tom Watson was a Southern leader from Georgia where he was the editor of the Jeffersonian. In response to his political rival supporting Leo Frank, he unleased an anti-Semitic campaign and spoke against Jewish businesses and when Frank was imprisoned instead of executed, called for Frank to be lynched.
