The Redeemers believed in laissez-faire (limiting government interference in the economy) and white supremacy, which was a continuation and reinforcement of the old antebellum Southern class structure. They opposed the policies of Reconstruction that attempted to promote equal rights for African Americans. They were typically members of the old planter aristocracy and sought to maintain their power and privilege.
