The White League, also known as the White Man's League, was a white paramilitary terrorist organization started in the Southern United States in 1874 to intimidate freedmen into not voting and prevent Republican Party political organizing. Its first chapter was formed in Grant Parish, Louisiana, and neighboring parishes and was made up of many of the Confederate veterans who had participated in the Colfax massacre in April 1873. Chapters were soon founded in New Orleans and other areas of the state. Members of the White League were absorbed into the state militias and the National Guard.

  • La White League, aussi connue sous le nom de White Man's League est une organisation terroriste paramilitaire blanche apparue dans le Sud Américain en 1874 à l'époque de la reconstruction du Sud, après la guerre de Sécession. Son but est d'intimider les esclaves affranchis pour qu'ils ne votent pas et ne puissent pas s'organiser politiquement. Son premier chapitre est formé dans la paroisse de Grant, en Louisiane et dans les paroisses avoisinantes. Il est composé de nombreux anciens combattants confédérés qui avaient participé au massacre de Colfax en avril 1873. Des chapitres sont ensuite fondés à la Nouvelle-Orléans et dans d'autres régions de la Louisiane. Les membres de la White League sont par la suite incorporés dans les milices d'état et la National Guard. (fr)

  • I regret to say that with preparations for the late election decided indications appeared in some localities in the Southern States of a determination, by acts of violence and intimidation, to deprive citizens of the freedom of the ballot because of their political opinions. Bands of men, masked and armed, made their appearance; White Leagues and other societies were formed; large quantities of arms and ammunition were imported and distributed to these organizations; military drills, with menacing demonstrations, were held, and with all these murders enough were committed to spread terror among those whose political action was to be suppressed, if possible, by these intolerant and criminal proceedings.
