After the Civil War, resistance to granting civil rights to African Americans primarily came from Southern whites, including former Confederates, white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan, and local and state governments. These groups sought to maintain racial hierarchies through discriminatory laws, known as Black Codes, and violent intimidation. Additionally, some Northern politicians and factions also opposed full civil rights due to economic interests or racial prejudices. This resistance significantly hindered the progress of civil rights for African Americans during the Reconstruction era and beyond.
