Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The bourbon triumvirate and the international cotton exposition shaped Georgia in the following way.

The name Bourbon Triumvirate was given to the three most important and influential politicians in the state of Georgia after the period known as the Reconstruction, after the American Civil War. They were Joseph E. Brown, Alfred H. Colquitt, and John B. Gordon.
