Answer: They had to regain political power.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the Reconstruction years, the Democratic Party worked to recover political power in the South appealing to the white Southerners who resisted the Republican ideas about civil and voting rights of African Americans. They spread ideas of white racism and practiced election fraud to gradually return to power in the Southern states throughout the 1870s.
