Dill, rose at South Carolina’s Second Constitutional Convention to offer a resolution that would protect sharecroppers and tenant farmers, including formerly enslaved Black people, from gouging by white landowners.
In taking this strong stand, Dill put his life at risk. Elected to represent Kershaw County he never got to serve his full term in Columbia. On the night of June 4, 1868, Dill was assassinated by assailants who were never found, though many reported the men belonged to the Ku Klux Klan. Dill’s killing fit theDuring Reconstruction, the Klan acted as the paramilitary arm of the Southern Democratic Party and of white landowners.
Increased taxation sent plantation owners up in arms, and gave them a way to shift the focus of their attack from race to taxes, even though race was very much beneath the taxation issue. Such anger on the part of wealthy whites contributed to the rise of violent groups supported by them, such as the KKK, and ultimately to an organized, successful political effort to undo Reconstruction through violence.
The era of Jim Crow began. Lynchings became commonplace entertainment for whites. Voting rights came under attack as Black voters were forced at gunpoint to vote for racist white Democrats.

🤣🤣racial war monger MSM at it again
The old world through various uncivilized complexity that have made connection through future oligarchs dictators who used different types of schemes to try and wipe out updated civilized civilization and people!🌹
This is a great article. It would be cool to see this story in a documentary 👍🏼
Keep pushing them buttons. How about you do a article how America is the most diverse people in the world. Maybe do a article how we fought and died to fix something we got wrong. How about you do a article about how people are not divided. You divide us. Vomit 🤮🤮🤢🤮

The whole world still has a few dictatorial countries that let them aggressively cause wars and epidemics, it is clear that the weakness of the alliance of capitalist countries, please wake up and repel them, O alliance of Nato and Eu.
And let’s not forget the white violence was inflicted by the Democrat Party, mostly via its subsidiary the Ku Klux Klan, which it founded and continued to subsidize until JFK stopped it in 1961.
Wow i guess here we go again we are all equal in well being no race is more powerful than the next we are all equal
this is the truth Abbott & all Red State Governors & Legislators Don't Want Students to Learn, the Blacks achieved/ accomplished so much during Reconstruction but the rage of white confederate slave holders & white supremacists destroyed it; institutionalized Racism is REAL
You mean all them all black towns and farms went away because over white people and not jobs in the the northern cities
It was the Progressive Party who institutionalized racism at the federal level (originally racism was just an evasion of the Declaration). Ironically, they were the remnants of the German-influenced socialist Antebellum southern intellectuals who led slavery & the civil war.

Republicans love to claim they were the proBlack party but abandoned Blacks in Reconstruction which bought in Jim Crow.
Use some fucking commas dude
Hell bent on division, for a dollar. Shame on you.
