A. Pro-business Democrats who feared Black American influence.
The Redeemers were conservative white Democrats (sometimes called Bourbon Democrats) in the post‑Reconstruction South who sought to "redeem" state governments from Republican rule, roll back Reconstruction-era reforms, limit Black political power, and promote pro‑business, low‑tax policies.
