What is the connection between “redemption” and the end of Reconstruction?
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
The ideal answer should:
1. Define the term “redemption” as a biblical and spiritual metaphor for the retaking of the South from black and northern rule.
2. Note that the term further includes the absolution of southern white people of any guilt or shame for slavery or fighting and losing the Civil War.
3. Conclude that “redeeming” the South as a final end to Reconstruction and black and northern Republican rule took place at varying years for southern states during the 1870s, with the Deep South taking the longest to return to white Democrat domination.
