The Memphis massacre of 1866 was a series of violent events that occurred from May 1 to 3, 1866 in Memphis, Tennessee. The racial violence was ignited by political and social racism following the American Civil War, in the early stages of Reconstruction. After a shooting altercation between white policemen and black veterans recently mustered out of the Union Army, mobs of white residents and policemen rampaged through black neighborhoods and the houses of freedmen, attacking and killing black soldiers and civilians and committing many acts of robbery and arson.

  • I disordini di Memphis del 1866 (detti anche massacro di Memphis) furono una serie di eventi violenti che ebbero luogo tra il 1º maggio 1866 e il 3 dello stesso mese a Memphis, nel Tennessee (USA). La violenza razziale fu innescata da razzismo politico e sociale a seguito della guerra di secessione, nei primi stadi dell'era della ricostruzione. Dopo un alterco a colpi di arma da fuoco tra poliziotti bianchi e veterani di colore recentemente congedati dallꞌesercito dellꞌUnione, folle di residenti bianchi e poliziotti si scatenarono nei sobborghi della gente di colore e nelle case degli ex schiavi liberati, attaccando e uccidendo soldati e civili di colore e commettendo molti atti di rapina e incendi.
