When southerners used violence to stop peaceful protesters, most did so to maintain the status quo of racial segregation and resist the Civil Rights Movement. This violent backlash often involved local law enforcement and white citizens who felt threatened by the demands for equality and justice. Such acts of aggression aimed to intimidate and suppress dissent, highlighting the deep-seated racism and social tensions of the era. Ultimately, these actions galvanized further support for the civil rights movement, drawing national attention to the struggle for equality.
