White Democrats achieved "Southern Redemption" by restricting many of the rights African Americans had achieved during Reconstruction. This involved enacting Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial segregation and disenfranchised African Americans through measures such as literacy tests, poll taxes, and other discriminatory practices. They also utilized violence and intimidation, including support for white supremacy groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, to reinforce their control and undermine the rights of African Americans.
