Question

Of the Texas governors that served during the years of Reconstruction, which of the following did the US Army remove from power?
• Andrew J Hamilton
• James Throckmorton
• Elisha M. Pease
• Edmund J. Davis

Answer 1

During the Reconstruction era, the U.S. Army removed **James Throckmorton** from power. Throckmorton, who served as governor of Texas from 1866 to 1867, was removed by federal authorities due to his opposition to Reconstruction policies and his perceived inability to maintain order in the state.
