Many
have heard the term, Jim Crow, especially from the South. It was an era
in American History that is probably darker than the slavery as it was a
completely demoralizing period for many Black Americans who suffered
from its discrimination and violence.
Politicians like
Hillary Clinton love to continually remind voters about this deep dark
past, yet it seems she lacks the true history about it. Instead, she
uses it to propagate a hatred towards whites and Republicans,
threatening minorities that the White Establishment will gyp them out of
their right to vote.
During the post-Civil War
Reconstruction Era (1865-1877), many Southerners were none too happy
with Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and they demonstrated their
adverse reactions through a variety of methods. Reports of violence
towards the new free Black people was of legendary proportions - and
this was just what was reported. Many victims remained silent in fear of
retribution from their tormentors.
