   On this day in 1868, a mob of Democrats massacred nearly 300   
   African-American Republicans in Opelousas, Louisiana.   
      
   The savagery began when racist Democrats attacked a newspaper editor, a   
   white Republican and schoolteacher for ex-slaves. Several African-Americans   
   rushed to the assistance of their friend, and in response, Democrats went on   
   a "Negro hunt," killing every African-American (all of whom were   
   Republicans) in the area they could find.
