Correct answers:
- businesspeople interested in rebuilding
- newly freed African Americans
- scalawags
Brief explanation: Radical Reconstruction was backed by freedmen (who gained voting rights and protection), scalawags (Southern white Republicans who cooperated with Reconstruction governments), and business interests (Northern and Southern entrepreneurs who wanted stable governments and investment opportunities). Rich white landowners—largely former Confederates—generally opposed Radical Reconstruction.
