Answer 2

Answer:

D) Expanding Georgia's railroad and mining industries

Step-by-step explanation:

Joseph E. Brown, Alfred H. Colquitt and John B. Gordon are the trio that made up the Bourbon Triumvirate.

The Bourbon Triumvirate refers to the three most prominent, powerful and visionary politicians of the post-reconstruction era in Georgia.

They held a lock on the state's U.S. Senate seats and governor's office from 1872 to 1890.

These three men had large interests in the railroad and coal-mining industries with other commercial pursuits. Also, they championed the maintenance of subservient labor forces on farms and in factories and white supremacy.

Joseph Brown was an industrialist and Georgia's first millionaires who represented the New South businessmen.

Alfred Colquit was one of the state's leading planters who held the interests of the old planter class while John Cordon shrewdly exploited the Lost Cause of the confederacy.
