Introduction -- "Strictly a white man's country, with a white man's civilization" : lynching in Mississippi -- "To hell with the constitution" : lynching in South Carolina -- "No rights for the negro which a white man is bound to respect" : lynching and political power in Mississippi and South Carolina -- "The equal of some white men and the superior of others" : African American victims of lynching -- "An example must be made" : lynch mobs and the response of African Americans.
From the end of Reconstruction to the onset of the civil rights era, lynching was prevalent in developing and frontier regions that had a dynamic and fluid African American population. Focusing on Mississippi and South Carolina because of the high proportion of African Americans in each state during "the age of lynching," the author explains lynching as a consequence of the revolution in social relations — assertiveness, competition, and tension — that resulted from emancipation.
