The Redeemers were a group of men in the southern United States during the era of Reconstruction, which sought to oust the Republican coalition of freedmen, carpetbaggers and scalawags, and restore a Democrat government in those states.

From 1865 to 1877, the process of Reconstruction took place, in which the Redeemers oposed the Republicans, blaming them of imposing high tax rates and taking huge amounts of debt.
