Answer 2

The Correct Answer is A).

The Bourbon Triumvirate was a trio of politicians from the State of Georgia who kept powerful positions in the Senate and the Governance of the State. These 3 men were Joseph E. Brown, Alfred H. Colquitt, and John B. Gordon.

As option A clearly states, the 3 of them supported in white supremacy, a state government that did not charge high taxes to its citizens but at the same time provided few services and the use of convict labor in industrial complexes.

These policies contributed to maintaining a high level of inequality, as businessmen had the resources to live a wealthy life but the rest of the population were left with little to none benefits from the state government.
