If you were lucky you could bring home a souvenir... Some people brought cork screws or a pocket knife for this purpose. We have to look at this behavior within back drop of how barbaric our society was and still is today. Some countries need a brutal leader to do the same atrocities that an unassuming guy down the street will perpetrate on his own neighbors. How often do we read about someone with bodies buried in the back yard?

Ma Barker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Barker-Karpis gang's most infamous crimes were committed during their residency in a string of rented houses in and around [B]St. Paul, Minnesota[/b]. (1932-1934)
Born Charles Panzram in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, Panzram was hanged on September 5, 1930. When they put the noose around his neck, he allegedly spat in his executioner's face and declared, "I wish the entire human race had one neck, and I had my hands around it!"[11] When asked by the executioner if he had any last words, Panzram barked, "Yes, hurry it up, you Hoosier bastard! I could hang a dozen men while you're screwing around!"
May 1866: The Ku Klux Klan was formed in Pulaski, Tennessee by ex-confederate Democrats.
July 30, 1866: New Orleans' Democratic government ordered police to raid an integrated GOP meeting, killing 40 people and injuring 150. Also in 1866, 94% of GOP Senators and 96% of GOP House members approved the Fourteenth Amendment, guaranteeing all Americans equal protection of the law. Every congressional Democrat voted "No."
April 1867: Former confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest and Democrat organizes the Men of Justice, the Pale Faces, the Constitutional Union Guards, the White Brotherhood, and the Order of the White Rose under the Ku Klux Klan and becomes the first Grand Wizard.
April 20, 1871: The GOP Congress adopted the "Ku Klux Klan Act," banning the pro-Democrat domestic terrorist group.
Feb. 8, 1894: Democratic President Grover Cleveland and a Democratic Congress repealed the GOP's Enforcement Act, thus denying black voters federal protection.
Jan. 26, 1922: The House adopted a GOP bill to make lynching a federal crime. Filibustering Senate Democrats killed the measure.
Aug. 17, 1937: Republicans opposed Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt's Supreme Court nominee, Senator Hugo Black, Democrat from Alabama, a former Klansman who defended Klansmen against race-murder charges.
Sept. 24, 1957: Eisenhower deployed the 82nd Airborne Division to desegregate Little Rock's government schools over the strenuous resistance of Democratic Govenor Orval Faubus.
July 2, 1964: Democratic President Johnson signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act after former Klansman Robert Byrd's 14-hour filibuster and the votes of 34% of Senate Democrat majority failed to scuttle the measure.
For more than 100 years the Democratic Party has been the party of bigots. When you can demonstrate a similar history for the Republican Party you might have a point, but until then you are spewing nothing but revisionist bigotry.
Republicans and Democrats both staged and strategically planned Plessy vs. Ferguson. Homer Plessy was a WHITE Creole. He was a WHITE self identified Republican and was accepted as white by others. It was a political agenda, that was used to help oppress blacks and poor individuals and to maintain socioeconomic and class divide. Both parties came up with and backed this nonsense. Homer Plessy was handpicked to allegedly "violate a state law" etc. PoLIEticks is dirty and both parties and other parties and poLIEticians play games and antics to bamboozle and fool the people.
So everything you say and/or overlook is way in over your head.
Yet more historical revisionism by liberal freaks.
"During [James Eastland of Mississippi] last Senate term, he served as President pro tempore of the Senate since he was the longest-serving Democrat in the Senate."
Shelby was not a member of Congress until 1978, 14 years after the bigoted Democrats filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He only became a Republican in 1994 after the GOP victory that kicked his sorry butt into the minority. More than 300 Democrats, including northern Democrats, would jump ship between December 1994 and December 1995 after the Republican Party became the majority party in Congress.
So all your lies cannot change the fact that the Democratic Party is the national party of bigots.
From 1900 - 1931 Georgia led the nation with 302 black lynching victims followed by Mississippi's 285 black lynching victims. For the rest of the 20th century moving forward, the numbers were 20 in Georgia and 27 in Mississippi which indicated that Georgia's 322 black lynching victims was the highest among U.S. states in the 20th century with Mississippi following closely behind at 315. As to why that fact regarding Georgia would be a totally obscure statistic of 20th America ....it's awfully strange.
