Many white southerners rejected reconstruction because a. they wanted to rebuild the south without from the north. b. they did not want to share power with african americans. c. they thought it would cost too much to rebuild the economy. d. they did not want to support the policies of the democratic party.

The correct answer is B. they did not want to share power with African Americans.

They didn't like that policies being made were designed to help African-Americans and wanted to segregate them and leave them without political power and political rights. That's why they were satisfied when reconstruction ended and they could go back to their ways of disenfranchising groups with white people being at the top.
