White landowners often resorted to violence against African Americans to maintain their economic power and social dominance in the post-Civil War South. By instilling fear and suppressing Black labor and political participation, they aimed to uphold a racial hierarchy that favored white supremacy. This violence was also a means to resist the changes brought about by Reconstruction, including land redistribution and civil rights advancements for African Americans. Ultimately, such acts were intended to reinforce a system that benefited white landowners at the expense of Black autonomy and rights.
