Annotation

The Chisolm Massacre occurred April 29, 1877, after the end of the Reconstruction era in Kemper County, Mississippi. A judge and former sheriff named William Chisolm was accused of killing a Democratic Party sheriff John Gully and was being held in the local jail. Also there, being held in protective custody, were his son and daughter and two of his friends. A mob of around 300 Ku Klux Klan members stormed the jail and killed Chisolm, his family, and one of his friends. No one was convicted for the attack.
