Wade Hampton III, a prominent South Carolina politician and Confederate cavalry leader, sought to restore white supremacy and promote Democratic control in the post-Civil War South. He aimed to dismantle Reconstruction efforts, which he viewed as detrimental to Southern society, and worked to reestablish the pre-war social order. His political career included serving as a governor and a U.S. senator, where he focused on policies that reinforced racial segregation and the disenfranchisement of African Americans.
