The Horrors of Lynching in the South
The white Southerners hated the fact Freedmen have rights given by the government. They continued their ideology of a white American is better than a colored American. Their fear of Blacks dominating politics drove their actions to kill and murder the African population. They had multiple excuses for the lynching of Black men, and the aftermath of these excuses is still evident to this day. Southerners feared the Freedmen would participate in riots and insurrections against their owners and for the previous brutality committed towards them. This led them to believe it was acceptable for them to kill these Blacks even before they participated in a riot. The second excuse was to stop Black men
