Why did white southern citizens use violence to terrorize blacks after civil war?
Southerners of European descent had long thought of people of African descent as being racially inferior, which was why they felt justified in enslaving such people and treating them as domestic animals rather than as people.

Therefore, violence and terror were used to prevent African-Americans from assuming a position of social equality.
