How Did White Leaders Use Racism to Repress Black Labor?

There were like six different groups trying to control the state once black people were going to be able to vote. They did things on the books like they ended up reconfiguring counties and redistricting them gerrymandering as we call it now. It's very much like what's going on now to minimize the impact of communities where there were large numbers of black voters. So everybody ends up fighting in the top half of the state and they rely on white supremacy to gain support. One of the governors they elected who ran with this white supremacist platform was a guy from Wisconsin that still exists.
