What do the violent riots in Texas, North Carolina, and New Orleans reveal about living conditions for southern black people in the late nineteenth century? What provoked the violence? What were its consequences?
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
The ideal answer should:
1. Define each riot in terms of details, dates, and outcome.
2. Explain that the riots reveal impoverished and segregated living and social conditions for black people that generated frustration, rage, and resistance.
3. Note that local law enforcement in each city was very racist.
4. Explain that southern white people were the aggressors in the riots and reacted in mob fashion after African Americans asserted their rights or criticized the white community in some fashion.
5. Conclude that the outcome of each riot was major loss of life for African Americans and widespread property damage to the economic benefit of southern white people, some of whom were rewarded with political positions for their efforts during the riots.
