how did the restoration of voting rights to white southerners undermine efforts to preserve and protect the voting rights of freedmen?

Question

nurali · Answer

When whites in the south regained the vote, they were seeking revenge against the abuse (real or imagined) they underwent by the north after the was. The revenge manifested itself in whites regaining all political power, and used that power to disenfranchise the freedmen. Freedmen were the most visible scapegoat for southern frustration, and least able to defend themselves.
