Answer 1

The correct answer is 'E. None of the above' as all the hardships listed in the options were indeed consequences of racism experienced around the turn of the 20th century in Virginia.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the textbook authors, what was NOT a result of the racism Virginia experienced around the turn of the 20th century (1900s)? The answer to this question is E. None of the above. The hardships and consequences of racism during this period stated in options A, B, and C were indeed results of the deep-seated racial prejudices and socio-economic divisions that marked this era. The establishment of a costly two-school system based on race (A), the elimination of voters through practices designed to disenfranchise African American citizens (B), and a lack of cooperation between poorer whites and blacks who both needed mutual assistance but were kept divided by racial tensions (C) all signify the systemic issues faced during this time. The option about an economy saddled with regulations based in the past relates to the wider social and economic norms that were influenced by historical racial ideologies.
