Redeemers were a coalition of Southern Democrats, former Confederates, and other white conservatives who sought to restore white supremacy and reduce the influence of African Americans in the post-Civil War South. They played a crucial role in ending Reconstruction by promoting violent tactics and intimidation against Black citizens and their allies, ultimately leading to the withdrawal of federal troops and the dismantling of Reconstruction policies. Their efforts resulted in the establishment of Jim Crow laws and a system of racial segregation that lasted for decades.
