The correct answer is D. few people in the federal government were concerned with the rights of minorities

People didn't care about minorities because they believed that the minorities had voting rights and their freedom. They didn't care about abuse or discrimination because when it came to them the minorities had every right as the white people so there was no need for anything else.
