Counter-Reconstruction
“counter-reconstruction” was a white racist political movement that occurred in southern states after the civil war. counter-reconstruction systematically sought denial black voting rights, removal of blacks from political office and curtailment of economic opportunities available to blacks. southern whites had became terrified by wide-spread black engagement in legitimate political process by the 1870s. counter-reconstruction was the initial, reactionary phase of the jim crow era. the term plays on “counter-reformation”. since the counter-reformation was self-serving catholic reaction to protestant gains, the term further indicts the largely-protestant southern white population for its christian hypocrisy.
robert brown elliot unavoidably fueled counter-reconstruction in his brilliant 1874 congressional debate with the “brain of the confederacy”. southern whites were terrified by an eloquent, erudite black leader who was a living repudiation of plantation racism. they reacted in fear and overwhelming numbers to reimpose slavery in the form of jim crow laws. as a result, the aims of reconstruction would not take hold for another 90 years.
