It seems clear that you mean the "new South" following the Civil War. Here are some points to consider:

1. The South passed black codes to regulate the freedmen. Not ALL of the black codes were negative, some actually were GOOD laws that allowed black marriages and so forth.
2. Slavery was officially outlawed but sharecropping and tennant farming became commonplace.
3. Blacks were discriminated against in voting registration and were turned away due to literacy tests, grandfather clauses, poll taxes, or blatant intimidation
4. The Ku Klux Klan was organized in Pulaski, Tennessee before the Civil War ended and after the war concluded the Klan ran rampant throughout the South until the Enforcement Acts and the Ku Klux Klan Acts were passed in the early 1870s.
5. Following the end of Reconstruction in 1877 new Jim Crow laws were passed in which legalized racism was allowed throughout the South.


And there you have it.
