Well— in extremis, the land owning penalized and selectively removed from positions in the local government-— veterans of the War retaliated... politically rather dramatically.

One of many come to mind purely economical but also deadly politically: Hillsville, VA the Carroll County whiskey Wars (the illegal liquor and payoffs were being taken over by Reconstruction idiots from federal “appointments”- and they paid for it with their lives. Dramatic. Shot the prosecutor, the Judge and members of the jury).
