Racial violence is woven throughout the fabric of the history of the United States. In the centuries following the initial colonization of North America, racial and ethnic minorities—especially African American and Indigenous people—have repeatedly been targeted by white people, often as part of organized actions undertaken by white supremacist groups. Violent race riots often devolved into massacres, though in some instances mass death was intended from the outset, as in many of the military massacres of Native Americans. Since the 1900s, there have also been a number of protests and riots led by African Americans in response to police brutality and continued inequality and discrimination. The following is a list of some of the major incidents of racially motivated violence in U.S. history, organized chronologically.

Just a few:

• New York City draft riot (1863)A major four-day eruption of violence in New York City that resulted from deep worker discontent with the inequities of conscription during the American Civil War.

• Fort Pillow massacre (1864)During the American Civil War, Confederate soldiers slaughtered surrendering African American Federal troops stationed at Fort Pillow, Tennessee, on April 12, 1864. While it is impossible to determine how many people were killed in the battle as opposed to the massacre, between 277 and 295 Union troops—the majority of whom were Black—were killed in total.

• Sand Creek massacre (1864)A force of about 675 U.S. troops carried out a surprise attack upon a camp of Cheyenne and Arapaho people in southeastern Colorado Territory. More than 230 Native Americans were massacred, including some 150 women, children, and older adults.

• Memphis massacre (1866)A brutal and unprovoked attack by a white mob on Black residents of Memphis, Tennessee, occurred a little more than a year after the Confederate surrender in the American Civil War. Acting over several days, from May 1 to 3, the mob murdered 46 African Americans (most of whom were Union veterans) and wounded more than 75 others.

• New Orleans massacre (1866)On July 30, 1866, a mob of white men—acting with the compliance and even aid of local civilian authorities and the police—attacked newly freed African Americans in urban New Orleans. The mob murdered 35 Black citizens and wounded more than 100 others who had gathered peacefully to support a political meeting.

• Camp Grant massacre (1871)A vigilante group consisting of a mix of Anglo-Americans, Mexican Americans, and members of the Indigenous Tohono O’odham people carried out a mass murder of more than a hundred members of the Apache people—mostly women, children, and the elderly—on April 30, 1871. The massacre occurred near Winkelman, Arizona, about 70 miles (115 km) north of Tucson, and derives its name from the nearby Camp Grant, an American military post.
