Democrats regained control of Southern governments primarily through the process of "Redemption," which involved a combination of political maneuvering, grassroots organizing, and violent intimidation tactics against Republicans and freedmen during the late 19th century. The end of Reconstruction in 1877, marked by the Compromise of 1877, led to the withdrawal of federal troops from the South, allowing Democrats to reassert power. They employed Jim Crow laws to disenfranchise Black voters and suppress their political influence, effectively restoring white supremacy in Southern governance. This shift solidified Democratic dominance for decades to come.

To regain control of southern politics
During the Reconstruction era, the Democrats regained control of the government primarily through the end of military Reconstruction in 1877, following the Compromise of 1877, which resulted from a disputed presidential election. This compromise led to the withdrawal of federal troops from the South, allowing Democrats, often referred to as "Redeemers," to regain power in Southern states. They implemented Jim Crow laws that disenfranchised African American voters and reinforced white supremacy, effectively solidifying their control over Southern politics and society.
Free speech and gun-control supporting Democrats, unfortunately.
Following the presidential election of 1876, Southern Democrats were able to negotiate the end of Reconstruction with Republicans in Congress because the electoral college could not declare a clear winner, sending the decision to the House of Representatives. In order for the Republican candidate to win, the Republicans agreed to end Reconstruction in 1877.
