Answer:

Georgia removed black legislators from office and the Ku Klux Klan had impacted the state heavily.

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of Military's rule during reconstruction was to made sure the southern states did not harm former slaves during their transition period to citizenship.

Georgia was put back into the rule more than initially intended because of two reasons:

- The white legislators in Georgia actively conduct campaigns to remove black legislators (most notably Henry McNeal Turner, Tunis Campbell, and Aaron A. Bradley. ) in order to prevent the advancement of black communities

- Development of Ku Klux Klan in Georgia that caused several act of violence to black communities (most notably the Camila Masacre)
