During the Reconstruction Era, the old wounds of the defeated Confederacy were slow to heal. White supremacist groups and wealthy plantation owners, harassed former slaves through sheer terror and making it difficult for Blacks in the South to exercise their civil rights, such as voting. Black churches were burned as well. As reconstruction was easing down, the white southern leaders reinstalled their previous stranglehold on state politics and continued savage acts of violence against Black people.
