The correct answer is: C. Thousands Aborigines died of diseases from Europeans.

Indeed, like in all the other European colonized territories, diseases for which the autochthonous population had no immunity devastated their populations. 50% of aboriginals were decimated by smallpox and as aboriginals fled into the inner territories they carried the viruses with them, further spreading the diseases.

Consequently, this led to starvation as the ablest members of the tribes were dead and the young and the old survivors did not have the training or the experience to hunt or collect food.

apart from being against desegregation, governor of georgia eugene talmadge opposed as well to the work progress administration, an ambitious program of the "new deal" created by president franklin d. roosevelt to overcome the great depression after world war i. talmadge disagreed with welfare spending, job training and organized labor. according to his ideas, he thought the government was spending too much money on this, and he wasn't willing to accept a wage higher than georgia's lower average wage. besides, talmadge strongly opposed to the "new deal" as he thought it had communist ideas.
