Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases by Ida B. Wells-Barnett Shocked and terrified by the growing Southern Black and White murders since the start of the restoration and by the reluctance of local, state and federal governments to prosecute those responsibly, Ida Bell Wells-Barnett wrote. Southern Terror, a pamphlet in which she exposes the horrifying truth of lynching to others in the country and around the world, Wells explains through a case study that federal failures to intervene have slowed the southern states to latitude. But it effectively did not allow black franchises to join as independent men and women in the post-American Civil War with rights and opportunities guaranteed to all Americans by the constitution.
In this new edition Jacqueline Jones Royster sheds light on the specific events, such as the yellow fever epidemic, that spurred Wells’s progression towards activism.
