The purpose of this thesis is to show the political, educational, social and economic life of the black people In the city of Montgomery, Alabama as seen through a white Democratic Conservative newspaper, the Montgomery Daily Advertiser, during the period of Reconstruction. Another intent of this paper is to prove that blacks In Montgomery made some contributions during this period. The author chose this topic because little has been written concerning the blacks In Montgomery and that most of the material written by white Southern historians has tended to be prejudiced toward the blacks or omitted their contributions completely. The bulk of the information used was taken from the Montgomery Dally Advertiser and the Alabama State Journal, a Republican paper. Other sources used Included the American Missionary Association Manuscripts and the personal papers of General Wager Swayne. Swayne served under Major-General Pope, commander of the Third Military District as the officer In charge of the district of Alabama. Reports of the Alabama General Assembly were also found to be very helpful along with many secondary sources such as books and articles.

This study examines the lynching of African-American females in the state of Georgia. Historians have long studied the lynching of African-American men, but works that examine the lynching of women are relatively few in comparison. This study was based on the premise that the lynching of black females in Georgia is correlated to the objectification of black women, the pecuniary suppression of Blacks, the ineffective administration of laws, and the cultural approval of the use of violence to resolve conflict. A case study analysis approach was used to analyze information gathered about the black women who were victims of lynch mobs. Additionally, quantitative analysis of data for population distribution, property ownership, tenancy, cotton prices and production was conducted to examine the correlation between these variables and lynching. The researcher found that allegations of insolence by the woman or her relative(s) and economic exploitation often precipitated these acts of violence. The conclusions drawn from the findings suggest that the lynching of African-American women in Georgia is attributed to the cultural acceptance of violence as a means to dominate Blacks.
