Lynching is a brutal form of oppression intended to silence, intimidate and terrorize African-Americans as well as a few other groups in the South that some whites believe must be kept in their place. The incidence of lynchings is greater in states like Mississippi where there is cotton cultivation than it is in Virginia where there is not. Although there are few records to show who is involved, a full range of Southerners participate in the brutalization. The victims are as varied as the architects of the violence, as historian Fitzhugh Brundage reflects in recounting the story of Sam Hose. The horror of lynching is what it does to the South as a whole and how it will affect black/white relations far into the future.
