Bronson Frederick · Answer 1

Option: was an act of violence directed mostly at black men.

Explanation:

At the end of the 19th century, the South was growing into racial tension. Southern people accused their financial difficulties on the freed slaves that lived around them. Lynchings were displaying a common way of solving the anger that whites had with freed blacks. For the white Southern, Lynching was necessary because it controls and maintains the freed slaves.
