"Southern Horrors" by Ida B. Wells-Barnett.
The book is 120 years old, which is why it's available from Project Gutenberg. It is about lynch law.
If you like to think of this nation as an honorable place, it will rock your perceptions. Even if you think you know about lynchings and massacres by white mobs, this book will stun you with the breadth and depravity of the practice.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Nope, wasn't pretty at all. Lots of Reconstructionists were in the middle of that mess.
ReplyDeleteI think what now would be called "the Bitter Dead-Enders" of the time had a lot to do with it.
ReplyDeleteA grim document, and hard to face up to. But I did laugh out loud at this indignity heaped upon the Afro-Americans: "The race regardless of advancement is penned into filthy, stifling partitions cut off from smoking cars."
ReplyDeletemore blacks were lynched in the north.lok up the draft riots in new York city.and they burned a black orphanage with 300 black kids in it and there was abunch burned at the stake in the 1740s.there were more whites lynched in the south than there were blacks so study a little history your friend truckwilkins
ReplyDeletewere more whites lynched in the south than there were blacks
ReplyDeleteI am afraid that you are in error. The ratio of Black folk lynched over whites in the South ranged from 4 to 1 in Virginia and Arkansas to 30 to 1 in South Carolina.
