Opponents of Reconstruction employed various forms of economic pressure, including sharecropping and tenant farming systems that kept many African Americans in cycles of debt and poverty. They also enacted discriminatory laws, such as Black Codes, which limited job opportunities and economic mobility for freed slaves. Additionally, violence and intimidation by groups like the Ku Klux Klan targeted Black individuals and their allies, further undermining their economic stability and participation in the labor market. These tactics effectively reinforced white supremacy and hindered the economic progress of the newly freed population.
