Best Answer

After the Civil War, Former Confederate Solders did not have civil rights. They could neither vote nor hold office. The newly freed slaves could vote and hold office. The veterans did not like that. The veterans would hide near the polls. Black men would go to the polls. Bang, bang, bang, shots would ring out. Black men would fall dead. Something had to be done. Solders were placed in the South to end the intimidation and murder of newly freed Black Men.
