Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "redeemed" governments refers to the period during Reconstruction in the United States when Democrats regained control of Southern state governments, effectively marking the end of Republican-led Reconstruction efforts. This term does not imply the suppression of white supremacists; in fact, many of these "redeemed" governments were complicit in or actively supported white supremacist activities.
