Answer :

A. sending soldiers to the South to enforce antidiscrimination laws" was a way in which the federal government safeguarded blacks' civil rights during congressional Reconstruction

Answer:

A. sending soldiers to the South to enforce antidiscrimination laws.

Explanation:

Even though slavery ended with the passage of the Emancipation Proclamation and the end of the Civil War, many southerners were still reluctant to accept Black people as equal. During Reconstruction, Black people faced many limitations due to racism and isolation. One of the ways in which the federal government tried to combat this was by sending soldiers to the South in order to enforce antidiscrimination laws.
