In what ways did the alabama government contribute to the economic difficulties of the state’s african american population?

Cotton farming profits were decreasing and instead of helping the economically depressed african american population of Alabama, the government instead decided to assist white residents of the state with timber farming. This led to the further decline in the economic health of the state's african american population.

Hey!
The answer is definitely C. because it is a no brainer question.
Have a great day!
