Do you think either northerners or southerners believed that secession would not lead to war?

Many organizations in the Reconstruction Era have sought to restore racial order since before the war.

Explanation:

Most historians agree that the racial violence of Caucasians against African Americans was not organized at a higher level or had severe political support. The violence perpetrated by individuals and groups was local. The goal was to restore the earlier racial order to use African Americans as a workforce. This domestic violence was not just against African-Americans, but these local cases also sometimes happened to whites who were declared traitors racially.

Also, groups such as the Ku Klux Klan were primarily aimed at preventing African Americans from engaging in politics or possibly voting. The consequences of racial segregation and its effects will, unfortunately, remain deeply rooted in American society long after this period. Racial segregation and discrimination will continue to be evident for decades after the reconstruction era.
