The term 'Redeemers' refers to a group of people who sought to restore white supremacy in the Southern United States after the Civil War. The term is derived from the Latin word 'redemptio, ' which means to buy back or to save. The Redeemers were primarily composed of former Confederate officers and politicians who sought to regain control of the South by enacting laws that would restrict the rights of African Americans. They also sought to limit the power of the federal government in the region. The term 'Saviours' is often used to refer to the Redeemers, as they sought to restore order and stability to the region.
