The New Orleans Massacre of 1866 primarily involved the violent deaths of African American men, many of whom were former slaves, who were participating in a peaceful political rally advocating for civil rights. The violence was instigated by white supremacists, including former Confederate soldiers, resulting in the deaths of around 34 African Americans, with many others injured. The massacre highlighted the intense racial tensions and opposition to Reconstruction efforts in the South during that period.
