Wiki: The New Orleans massacre of 1866 occurred on July 30, when a peaceful demonstration of mostly Black Freedmen was set upon by a mob of white rioters, many of whom had been soldiers of the recently defeated Confederate States of America, leading to a full-scale massacre.[4] The violence erupted outside the Mechanics Institute, site of a reconvened Louisiana Constitutional Convention.[5] According to the official report, a total of 38 were killed and 146 wounded, of whom 34 dead and 119 wounded were Black Freedmen. Unofficial estimates were higher.[6] Gilles Vandal estimated 40 to 50 Black Americans were killed and more than 150 Black Americans wounded.[7] Others have claimed nearly 200 were killed.[2] In addition, three white convention attendees were killed, as was one white protester.[8]
Tangentially, why the fuck were confederates allowed to keep their political offices? The mayor at the time was a reinstated pro-confederacy Democrat. Unhung traitors truly are the death of a republic.
Bcs primarily it wasn't a war on slavery, just on profiteering of socialite giants. The USA/north industries had more economic prosperity without slaves (more "people" = higher consumption), the south was spoken by economic powers with high slave labour.
Yes there were activists against slavery, but that wasn't new, nor did they affect the war iirc/afaik.
And the war industry was infantile (for the last time) at that point.
So after the fighting stopped, there was no reason to proceed with regular after-war stuff (changing & defacing leadership & ideologies, taking guns, instituting mandatory reparations, paying war debts, etc) as long as the economy functioned & recovered. The south kept the guns & their beliefs. And the slaves (just like in the north) entered the lowest economical class which is on average the reason why even today black people are statistically poorer. And still facing the same flavour of racism.
Humans are just disguising. A random product of a very specific evolution path (we have a smol gene pool/variety).
I took an african american history course last semester. This isn't even half of it. Maybe not even a quarter. Hell its certain there are many we don't even know about. Some of the cities on this map had far more than one.
An anti-black mass shooting and hate crime occurred on June 17, 2015, in Charleston, South Carolina. Nine people were killed, and one was injured, during a Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, the oldest black church in the Southern United States. Among the fatalities was the senior pastor, state senator Clementa C. Pinckney. All ten victims were African Americans. At the time, it was the deadliest mass shooting at a place of worship in U.S. history, until the Sutherland Springs church shooting in 2017.
following a KKK musical tour (not a joke) and lurid newspaper reports of black men raping white women, 15,000 white people marched through Five Points, Atlanta, killing every black person they could find and smashing up black owned businesses
30 killed and 90 injured by official reports but some think it was way more.
Philadelphia 1985, that'd be the MOVE bombing where the Philly police fucking airbombed a residential apartment block to kill a black liberation group (MOVE)
Wilmington NC is the site of the only successful white supremacist coup de tat in the US where the mayor was forced to resign by mob and power handed to the supremacists.
