Hillary Dickson · Answer 2

They formed the Redeemers, a group that rigged election results.

Explanation:

The Redeemers refers to a diverse group of individuals made up of affluent merchants, and wealthy farmers. This group was composed of an all-white, pro-democratic group, and it expressed a strong contempt for Republicanism as well as for the interests of African Americans. The group's overarching aim was to undermine the democratic institutions and race ties that were established during the reconciliation period. It meant that they tried to bring an end to Republican-controlled state legislatures, as well as to exclude African Americans from elected offices and limit their general right to freedom.
