The correct answer is A. The Red Shirts were a white supremacist organization that used its name to mock the Republicans who had "waved the bloody shirt" to remind people of Confederate crimes.

Explanation:

Red Shirts were white paramilitary groups in the southern states after the Reconstruction period towards the end of the 19th century. They acted as the armed branch of the Democratic Party. Their purpose was to prevent Republicans, populists and blacks from voting and exercising political influence.

They first emerged in Mississippi in 1875 and they practiced violence against both white and black Republicans. They dressed in red shirts for the sake of visibility and to look more terrifying. They differed from secret organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan in that they organized themselves openly and served as "the Democratic Party's armed branch".
