为何倒装呢？

umm...没倒装吧...就是两个原因的比较，前者原因弱于后者原因
In 1903, however, Du Bois aligned himself with Trotter, Washington’s militant opponent, less for ideological reasons than because Trotter had described to him Washington’s efforts to silence those in the African American press who opposed Washington’s positions.
