Many whites were lynched in various states due to perceived violations of racial and social norms, such as relationships with Black individuals, opposition to white supremacy, or defending the rights of African Americans. These lynchings served as a means of social control and intimidation, reinforcing the racial hierarchy and discouraging any behaviors that challenged the status quo. Additionally, in some cases, lynching was used as a tool for settling personal grievances or community disputes, transcending racial lines.
