1865
Southern States, US
Between 1865 and 1877, at least 2,000 Black women, men, and children were victims of racial terror lynchings across the former Confederacy.
Thousands more were assaulted, raped, or injured in racial terror attacks by white mobs and individuals shielded from arrest.
This systematic violence was directed at suppressing Black voters, politicos, and anyone deemed a threat to white supremacy.
