Title A name given to the resource Staunton Vindicator-Coalition Rule in Danville Subject The topic of the resource African Americans, politics, race relations, violence Description An account of the resource Early in the 1880s African Americans held public offices in the city of Danville. During this time, a biracial coalition known as the Readjuster Party had won control of the General Assembly and the statewide offices. A circular letter published with the Staunton Vindicator before the 1883 general election voiced the racial attitudes common among white Virginians at the time and fueled resentment at what many of them regarded, inaccurately and unfairly, as African American domination of Virginia's society and government. Danville's white residents appealed to people elsewhere in Virginia to vote for Democrats in order to defeat the Readjusters and end what they described as the "misrule of the radical or negro party."

Title A name given to the resource Indictment of Christopher Jones in the Richmond City Hustings Court Subject The topic of the resource African Americans, race relations, violence Description An account of the resource In April 1867, African Americans in Richmond organized protests against the privately operated company that refused to allow them to ride its horse-drawn streetcars. Christopher Jones had tried to board a streetcar and was arrested for disturbing the peace after a large crowd assembled to support his insistence that, having bought a ticket, he was entitled to ride the streetcar. African Americans in the crowd reportedly shouted, "Let us have our rights," and "We will teach these d—d rebels how to treat us." Jones was indicted for "feloniously and maliciously" conspiring to "incite the Colored population of the said City and State to make insurrection by acts of violence and war against the white population," but on May 18 the court issued a "nolle prosequi," or an order not to prosecute his case.

Frank P. Crandon to Presiding Justices, Louisa County, March 3, 1866 Subject The topic of the resource African Americans, race relations Description An account of the resource Before the Civil War, white Virginians feared slave rebellions and thus exerted repressive control over enslaved people. After the war they feared retribution by the freedpeople and in some parts of the state they attempted to disarm African Americans and re-arm whites. Late in 1865, the Louisa County court ordered that patrols be established to "take from the freedmen any arms found in their possession." Similar patrols confiscated weapons in Culpeper County, prompting the Freedmen's Bureau to issue an order in January 1866 "that the taking of arms from Freedmen be stopped, at once, and that all arms so taken be promptly restored Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ed.

Title A name given to the resource Position to a Lawful Celebration Subject The topic of the resource African Americans, celebrations, race relations, violence Description An account of the resource In 1865 David B. White, a former colonel of the New York 81st Infantry Volunteers, established the True Southerner in Hampton (later moved to Norfolk). Operating with the motto "We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal," he advocated the interests of Virginia's freedpeople. In this editorial, White responded to inaccurate accounts of a riot in Norfolk in which whites attacked a parade of African Americans celebrating the recent passage of a national civil rights act. He placed the blame on whites who "attacked the negroes without provocation," and posed the question whether loyal Virginians were to abandon celebrations "in our own country, lest we offend the enemy?"
