Question

Lauren Johnson · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The statement D is the least accurate because during the late nineteenth century, the agrarian movement, including the Populist Party, did face significant opposition and violence from white supremacists and others who viewed their efforts, especially any attempts to bridge racial divides or empower black farmers and voters, with hostility. This period was marked by racial tension and violence, contrary to the suggestion that there was a decline in violence in response to the agrarian movement.
