The Redeemers were conservative white Democrats who wanted to regain control of the South.

The Redeemers rose after the Civil War during the Reconstruction Era. They were conservative democrats comprised of all-white wealthy businessmen, farmers and merchants. They primarily fought Republicanism and equality--destroying race relations and political institutions established after the Civil War.
