You may be pretty good with history, but your ability in English is not up to the same par.

There was a pretty noticible race riot in Evansville in 1903, and D.C. Stevenson's Klan of the early 1920s was as much anti-Jewish and Anti-Catholic [by way of being anti-immigrant] as they were concerned with replays of the Negro riots of '03. And the unremarkable lynchings of the usual blacks in Southern Indiana [the Holly Epps hanging at Vincennes was somewhat more spectacular, in which much of the community of Bloomfield chartered a train to the locatrion where Epps was being held on rape and ax-murder charges, marched as a unit from the train station to the County jail and courthouse, removed the prisoner from his cell and hanged him from a courthouse tree, still standing.
There was a similar lynching in nearby Monroe county many years later, of a Jewish rapist that was compared to the Epps incident, not looked upon kindly by the area's Chamber of Commerce. Around 1921, as I recall.
