This demographic significantly influenced the social, economic, and political landscape of the South leading up to the Civil War.


How did many southerns whites view reconstruction?

Many Southern whites viewed Reconstruction as a period of humiliation and resentment, seeing it as an unjust imposition by the federal government that undermined their social and political power. They often perceived the policies aimed at integrating formerly enslaved people into society as threats to their way of life. The presence of Northern politicians and troops was seen as an occupation, leading to widespread resistance and the formation of groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Overall, Reconstruction was seen by many in the South as a failed attempt to reshape their society.
