Qualche notizia:
REDEEMERS
The Redeemers, a loose political coalition in the post-Civil War South, consisted of prewar Democrats, Union Whigs, Confederate army veterans, and individuals interested in industrial development. They sought to "redeem" the South by undoing the changes brought about by the Civil War. Although the various groups had widely different visions of the South, they shared a commitment to reduce the scope of state government and institute stricter economic and political control of blacks.
In the late 1870s Redeemers won many state and local offices by vowing to dismantle the "corrupt" Reconstruction system. In power they cut government spending, shortened legislative sessions, lowered politicians' salaries, scaled back public aid to railroads and corporations, and reduced support for public education. They also passed laws requiring blacks to sign labor contracts and imposing poll taxes and taxes on tools and farm animals—measures that placed an added burden on tenant farmers and sharecroppers, black and white alike. The Redeemers' policies inhibited regional economic development and exacerbated the class strife and racial violence that followed the war.

Redeemers
Forse da lasciare così? l'unico riferimento utile un articolo di un'associazione di studi nord americani, dove si parla di un elite progressista per cui "l'interesse economico non era disgiunto dalla pietas evangelica" (forse da qui "redeemers=redentori?"). Il termine redeemers è nel titolo di un articolo utilizzato dall'autrice e riportato nella nota 33. Dai uno sguardo all'articolo, parla proprio della situazione economica nel periodo a cui ti riferisci, benchè da una prospettiva storiografica. Se non hai altro, spero che ti aiuti
