Black political dominance of SC, LA, MS

I'm mulling over writing a fairly ambitious alternate Reconstruction timeline, but I'd like help with opinions and research before beginning it.

Blacks made up over 50% of South Carolina, Louisiana, and Mississippi until ~1900, when seeking economic opportunity and refuge from segregation, poverty, and disenfranchisement took them to the northern cities.

How could Reconstruction have gone differently, so that the black populations could have retained proportionate political control of these states? What would the effects of this have been?
Would the results have led to "white flight" from these states?
Would there have been discrimination against whites, a la Haiti, or would the northern Republicans have made sure to protect white rights in these states?

Large scale land transfer so that former slaves had economic security and the former ruling class lost its power would have made a huge difference.

I picture the forced exile of the planter class (part of the condition for pardon of treason) and a certain number of white folk choosing to leave.

The whites would have resisted with guerrilla warfare. They were highly experienced soldiers, quite used to enduring terrible conditions, and in this scenario would have been intensely motivated.

Besides, the whites in the North would not have accepted what was going on and would have voted out whatever political party was pushing such a policy.
