Question

The Republican government was overthrown at the Battle of Liberty Place, but was reinstated when General Sheridan arrived with additional Union Troops.

a. True

b. False

Answer 1

The Republican government was not reinstated at the Battle of Liberty Place, but instead federal intervention and a compromise ended Reconstruction in the South.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is False.

The Battle of Liberty Place took place in 1874 and was a violent conflict in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was an attempt by white supremacist paramilitary groups, known as the White League, to overthrow the state's Republican government and regain power for the Democratic Party.

The battle resulted in the temporary overthrow of the Republican government, but it was not reinstated when General Sheridan arrived with additional Union troops. Instead, federal intervention in the form of the Hayes administration led to a compromise that effectively ended Reconstruction in the South.
