which statement best summarizes the failure of reconstruction in South Carolina regarding the rise of discriminatory groups?

1) Reconstruction in South Carolina, led by Republicans resulted in white resistance expressed through the growth of the Ku Klux Klan.

Explanation:

At that time, the federal government assumed that all southern white citizens will just accept the fact that they loss the war and follow the principles of the northern states.

They fail to consider the possibilities that Many of the white citizens still bear resentment from the loss and underground resistance movement started to developed to oppose the integration of black citizens with white citizens. The Ku Klux Klan is probably regarded as the most famous white resistance group.

The influence of the Klan cannot be overlooked. They managed to spread their ideology to a lot of white citizens. This could be proven by the creation of segregation law (Jim Crow) 90 years after the reconstruction.
