1. The New Orleans Massacre of 1866
• The Story: On July 30, 1866, a peaceful political march composed of mostly Black freedmen and Union veterans gathered outside the Mechanics Institute. They were demonstrating in support of a reconvened Louisiana Constitutional Convention to grant Black citizenship and voting rights.
• The Democratic Connection: A furious white mob made up of former Confederates, local Democrats, and members of the New Orleans police force attacked the demonstrators to defend white supremacy and block Black suffrage.
• The Outcome: The attack became a slaughter, leaving an estimated 38 to nearly 200 people dead (the vast majority of whom were Black). The brutality horrified the nation and ironically backfired on the local Democrats; it galvanized northern support for the Radical Republicans, leading to the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment and putting the South under federal military control during Reconstruction.
2. The 1891 Orleans Parish Prison Lynchings
If "alm" is a phonetic typo for "Italian" or "alien" (as immigrants were called in the press back then), you may be referring to the 1891 Orleans Parish mass lynching.
