How did Redeemers take over the Texas government and wrote the Constitution of 1876?

The Redeemers, a coalition of white Democrats in Texas, regained control of the state government in the mid-1870s through political maneuvering and the mobilization of disenfranchised white voters disillusioned by Reconstruction. They capitalized on racial tensions and economic hardships to rally support against Republican rule. In 1876, they convened a constitutional convention that resulted in the adoption of the Texas Constitution, which aimed to roll back many Reconstruction-era reforms, limit the power of the state government, and reinforce white supremacy. This new constitution solidified their political power and reshaped Texas governance for decades.
