The Meridian race riot of 1871 was a race riot in Meridian,Mississippi in March 1871. It followed the arrest of freedmen accused of inciting riot in a downtown fire,and blacks' organizing for self-defense. Although the local Ku Klux Klan (KKK) chapter had attacked freedmen since the end of the Civil War,generally without punishment,the first local arrest under the 1870 act to suppress the Klan was of a freedman. This angered the black community. During the trial of black leaders,the presiding judge was shot in the courtroom,and a gunfight erupted that killed several people. In the ensuing mob violence,whites killed as many as 30 blacks over the next few days. Democrats drove the Republican mayor from office,and no person was charged or tried in the freedmen's deaths.
