Southern whites sought to stop African Americans from gaining rights and power primarily to maintain their social, economic, and political dominance following the Civil War and Reconstruction. They feared that empowering African Americans would threaten their established way of life, which was built on racial hierarchy and exploitation. This led to the enactment of discriminatory laws, violence, and intimidation, including the rise of groups like the Ku Klux Klan, aimed at suppressing African American rights and ensuring white supremacy.
