Schuyler Colfax
Schuyler Colfax (born March 23, 1823 in New York, New York; died January 13, 1885 in Mankato, Minnesota) served as the 17th Vice-President of the United States between March 4, 1869 and March 4, 1873. Colfax was also the 29th Speaker of the House of Representatives.
In 1873, the Colfax Massacre occurred in Colfax, Louisiana, when a violent confrontation erupted between white supremacists and Black citizens, including freedmen who had taken control of the local government. The violence was part of a broader context of racial tension and resistance to Reconstruction efforts in the South. The attack resulted in the deaths of an estimated 150 Black individuals and a few white Republicans, making it one of the bloodiest incidents of racial violence in the post-Civil War United States. The massacre highlighted the severe backlash against Reconstruction and the struggle for African American rights during that era.
Grant Parish is located in the central part of Louisiana, USA. It is bordered by the Red River to the west and is part of the Alexandria Metropolitan Statistical Area. The parish seat is Colfax, which serves as the primary hub for government and community activities in the region. Grant Parish is known for its rural landscapes and outdoor recreational opportunities.
