Southern Whites fought anti-slavery progress with several methods. During and after the Civil War, many whites as well as the Ku Klux Klan performed lynching, in which they hung Blacks as well as White "Black-lovers".

The KKK and other Southerners abused people and intimidated them at the polls, including Blacks.

Southern Whites who had been involved in the Civil War and succession from the Union soon came back into power in local and state governments so that they could pass many discriminatory laws known as the "Jim Crow Laws" that prevented Blacks from voting, having certain jobs, and pursuing an education despite the passing of the Fifteenth Amendment.

These are some of the ways that Southerners opposed and hurt Anti-Slavery efforts.
