Question

How did home rule affect the lives of the white people in the South?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Home Rule was the period after Reconstruction, when the governments of the southern states of the country were reconstituted according to the popular will of their inhabitants, when until 1877 they were directly appointed by the federal government.

Thus, state governments began to establish measures designed to limit the civil and political liberties of African Americans, guaranteeing only whites access to all of their rights. Thus, Home Rule put conservative white Democrats back in a role of social superiority over the rest of the inhabitants of the southern states.
