We will start this section of HCN with covering something that occurred right here in our American backyard, often considered historical.

For word brevity, a date to use as a reference point, when Lee surrendered to Grant, which some might equivocate to the end of the Civil War. It is generally known there are reports of skirmishes here and there afterward, word of the surrender may have gotten to different troops at different times, and so forth; the focus of this discussion, is during what is popularly known as the Reconstruction era; focus is the era immediately after the Civil War official wind-down, April 1865, to an estimate of about 1870, and the referent events that occurred.
References to violence including activities such as lynchings may be symbolized by etchings in history books that do cover the topic. Actualities with details of the full scale of events may be more difficult to find, and difficult to talk about.
