During Reconstruction, ex-Confederates aimed to restore their political power and social order in the South, seeking to reinstate white supremacy and undermine the rights of freed African Americans. They sought to diminish the influence of the federal government in Southern affairs and promote local control, often through the establishment of discriminatory laws like Black Codes.
