The period after #Reconstruction in the
US, the one you probably didn't study in high school, is often called Redemption. It is a reference to the "Redeemers" the KKK chief among the Redeemers.
The parallels to that period are interesting. Corporate personhood became a major thing using 14th A to justify it while Jim Crow was created negating the 14th A for the very humans it was intended to protect. Tarrifs instead of income tax created the "Gilded Age" which collapsed the economy in 1929 1/5

But the short short version is after the Civil War the Klan (and other redeemers) tried to reclaim the South through terror. Grant created to DOJ to *successfully* crush the Klan (ever wonder why hard core conservatives hate the DOJ?). 2/5

So the bigots in DC created the first border partols especially with the Chinese Exclusion Act.
