The correct answer is B. By 1877, Democrats had regained political power in all southern states.
The Reconstruction era refers to the period in the American history following the Civil War - years between 1865 (when the Civil War ended) and 1877. After the North won, the country was united and there were attempts to reconstruct the South, which Democrats aimed to do.
