3 Topics Assignment[edit source]
editThe three topics I would like to work on are (not in a particular order):
- "Whitecapping" or the movement of poor white farmers in South organizing across counties to lynch black individuals. Not much is said about it wikipedia, and I'd like to add more. This was not the KKK, but specifically poor farmers, beginning in Indiana.
- White Union veterans that organized against the KKK / lynchings / violence against blacks post-civil war (No wiki page for this that I know of)
- The "American Protective League" and it's relationship with the KKK / lynching / racism / violence against Black Americans.
