How was lynching used to intimidate African American?
Lynching was the worst kind of violence against blacks. Lynching was the murder if an accused person by a mob without a lawful trial. An estimated 1,200 African Americans were lynched between 1882 and 1892. Sometimes the victims were suspected criminals. Often they had merely overstepped their status as second class citizens or had shown too little respect to whites. Occasionally they were in financial competition with whites. After the African American owners of a Memphis, Tennessee, grocery store were lynched, Frederick Douglass said, "The men lynched at Memphis were murdered because they were prosperous." The fact that lynchings sometimes include a mock trial shows that their purpose was partly to set an example that would intimidate other African Americans. To add to the fear, lynching victims were sometimes mutilated before being hanged and riddled with bullets. Those who carried out these horrors were rarely pursued or caught, much less punished. Although most lynchings took place in the South, African Americans in the North were sometimes lynched as well.
