Answer 1

.From 1865 to 1877, South Carolina underwent Reconstruction. Congress shut down the civilian government in 1867, put the army in charge, gave Freedmen (freed slaves) the vote and prevented ex-Confederates from holding office. By 1877, the white conservatives, calling themselves "Redeemers", had regained political power.
