Bourbon Redeemers were Conservative Democrats in North Carolina that rose to power as a reaction to Radical Republicans initiatives. They sought to honor the "lost cause" of the Confederacy while revamping the Southern Economy.

Bourbons were conservative Democrats who came to power in North Carolina after Reconstruction, which officially ended in 1877. They were also sometimes known as "Redeemer" Democrats because they purportedly "redeemed" the state from Republican Reconstruction. Created by political opponents, the term "Bourbons" evoked Talleyrand's comment that the French royal family of that name, when restored to the throne in 1814, had apparently learned nothing from the French Revolution. North Carolina's Bourbons, like their counterparts in other southern states, supposedly had not changed their views despite the Civil War experience.

In reality, the southern defeat greatly influenced the economic policies of the North Carolina Bourbons. While continuing to honor the " Lost Cause" of the Confederacy, they sought a new economic order for the state modeled after the victorious North, including agricultural diversification and industrialization. To maintain northern goodwill and prevent the reenactment of Reconstruction, these conservatives promised to abide by the provisions of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments (ratified in 1868 and 1870, respectively) protecting black rights. They generally ignored this promise, although they were careful to avoid racial violence that could result in federal intervention.

In their efforts to promote industrialization and secure northern capital, conservative leaders ignored the plight of poor farmers. Their retrenchment policies for public services, especially education, came at a severe cost to the majority of North Carolinians still recovering from the Civil War. Furthermore, Bourbons, in attempting to retain power, resorted to ballot-box fraud. During the 1890s a coalition of farmers, organized as the Populist Party, and Republicans, consisting mainly of black voters, overturned the rule of the Bourbons.

The Bourbon redeemers had said they would abide by the new Reconstruction Amendments, but they ignored promises made by the 14th and 15th Amendments.  The KKK helped the Redeemers gain political support. Democrats worked hard to prevent populist coalitions. In the former Confederate South, from 1890 to 1908, starting with Mississippi, legislatures of ten of the eleven states passed disenfranchising constitutions, which had new provisions for poll taxes, literacy tests, residency requirements and other devices that effectively disenfranchised nearly all blacks and tens of thousands of poor whites. Overall, this group had a NEGATIVE effect on freedmen's rights as they disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of black men.
