Best Answer

Most white southerners held the opinion that the racial hierarchy had been just and supported continued white supremacy. They were not happy that the people they once considered chattel were now on an equal political footing with them. As a result, many white racist terrorist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan were formed during this period as a means of maintaining racial inequality.
