The correct response is: The Redeemers organized to put white southerners back into power.

The Redeemers were a political coalition in the South post-Civil War that aimed to regain control of state governments and enforce white supremacy, effectively ending Reconstruction efforts and reversing many of the gains made by African Americans during that period.
