Whites in Mississippi were often afraid of losing their social and economic dominance, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement. The fear of African Americans gaining equal rights and challenging the established racial hierarchy led to violent resistance and intimidation tactics. This anxiety was compounded by the broader national context of desegregation and the potential for social upheaval, which threatened the status quo that many white Mississippians sought to maintain.
