Lorenzo Marquez · Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Eugene Talmadge's dislike of the New Deal was because he was a white supremacist, who considered that the New Deal policies gave African-Americans too many rights and social benefits.

So much was his opposition to these policies, that in 1948 he distanced himself from the Democratic Party and began to support the "Dixiecrat" Party, which had a clear segregationist tendency.

Izayah Heath · Answer 2

A & D are both a little right. Ultimately, I'd go with "A". Much of Talmadge's opposition came down to black farmers getting more money than white farmers, which rankled Talmadge.
