Redeemers
Redeemers wanted to take government back from African American ( republicans). They felt that republicans were corrupt. They didn't like the republicans spending money on schools. The redeemers took part in the democratic party. 1876 was the year they redeemed the government. They used Red Shirts to redeem the government. The Red Shirts supported Wade Hampton III. The republicans supported David Chamberlain. Both democrats and republicans are going to claim victory in 1876. However in a compromise with the federal government Wade Hampton would be proclaimed winner and republican Hayes would be president and Hayes takes the army out of the south.
