In 1866, following the Civil War, Mississippi experienced significant racial tensions and violence against Black individuals. The state enacted Black Codes, restrictive laws aimed at controlling the newly freed Black population and limiting their rights. This period saw violent reprisals, including the Mississippi Freedmen's Bureau and various white supremacist groups, leading to numerous incidents of racial violence, including the Memphis Massacre and the New Orleans Riot. These events highlighted the struggles for civil rights and the severe opposition faced by Black communities in the post-war South.
