"In just the 1890s there were more than 1,000 African Americans in the South and elsewhere that were victims of lynching - or murder by a mob. The Epidemic of violence worsened after the depression of 1893. Often, jobless whites took out their anger on blacks" by killing the people who they felt were taking their jobs.
