What might be the reasons that Southern whites were able to reestablish racial supremacy?

Question

In the years during and after Reconstruction of the Civil War.

Answer 1

By your question I can tell you have no idea why the War of Northern Aggression (aka Civil War) was fought. In actuality only the north and mainly Lincoln made it a racial war. Lincoln had to have a reason for fighting his war because he had lost his biggest asset for running the government and the North was rapidly going into a depression without the tax money from the South. Lincoln provoked the war to bring back the southern states to regain the taxes he had lost with the succession of the south by putting more and more troops into Ft. Sumter against the demands of the Confederacy not to do so. President Davis sent several emissaries to Washington requesting no additional troops or arms into the fort or the Confederacy would consider it an aggressive act of war and fire. Lincoln put more troops and arms in and the Confederacy fired.

If you go to the South today you will find in almost every state that there is not a reestablishment of racial supremacy by the whites, On the contrary, especially in Mississippi the blacks are taking over city governments rapidly and most do not make any bones about it they want the whites out. I heard this myself while in MS last year during mayoral races when one black mayoral canadate said if elected she would do all she could to drive the whites out of her city. She won the vote.

Now before any blacks get upset and start calling me names, I have nothing against blacks in any way. I have a number of very good friends who are black and have a cousin in the my family who is black. I consider all people equal unless an individual person creates a situation that should not be tolerated by anyone.

Answer 2

I don't think that the whites from the South have ever or will ever acquire racial supremacy, no matter what they do. We are all or should be created equal. Remember?

Answer 3

the whites still owned the land and methods of production leaving them in control of the financial situation.

Answer 4

The minority races were still too dependant on the whites b/c they had the money and the work.

Answer 5

because there weren't enough laws to protect equality for all then, and no aclu.
