From this passage, what is a reason violence continued in the South seemingly without consequence?
"Indeed, the Democratic Party’s constant vilification of
carpetbaggers and scalawags as corrupt incompetents, their insistence that
blacks were unfit for equal citizenship, and their public laments about the
intractability of black labor created an atmosphere that made violence seem
a legitimate response in the eyes of many white southerners. Community
support for the Klan extended to lawyers who represented the criminals in
court, editors who established funds for their defense, and the innumerable
women who sewed costumes and disguises for them. While most white
southerners were law-abiding citizens, they seemed willing to forgive the
Klan’s excesses because they shared the organization’s ultimate goal—the
overthrow of Reconstruction and the restoration of white supremacy."
