Maintaining racial social order of the pre-Civil War Era

Explanation:

With the industrial revolution around the corner of the next century, farmers took advantage of cheap labor. The answer D can still be correct.

Nathanael Barry · Answer 2

In my opinion, I think either the racist social order or financially advantageous is it, but i think racial social order is the correct answer, as the restrictions on voting rights doesnt make sense, nor does them feeling pride from losing the war.
