The day freedom died the Colfax Massacre, the Supreme Court, and the betrayal of Reconstruction

Following the Civil War, Colfax, Louisiana, was a town, like many, where Negroes and whites mingled uneasily. But on April 13, 1873, a small army of white ex-Confederate soldiers, enraged after attempts by freedmen to assert their new rights, killed more than sixty Negroes who had occupied a courthouse. Seeking justice for the slain, U.S. Attorney James Beckwith of New Orleans pursued the killers until the final showdown at the Supreme Court.

In the explosive South, danger took many forms: white extremists loyal to a defeated world terrorized former slaves, while in the halls of government, bitter and byzantine political warfare raged between Republicans and Democrats.
