It’s was called Redemption, because after being forced to endure the “humiliation” of legal equality with Black Americans and share governance with them,the white South is redeemed, and part of that Redemption was the installation of Confederate Monuments/erasure relics of Reconstruction/Black rule.

The period known as Redemption is little known to most Americans — I’d argue intentionally — but it’s the period after the fall of Reconstruction where Black people are stripped of their rights, democracy falls in the South and the system of racial apartheid is entrenched.
